oppose the recall it is time for a change but republicans aren't letting up either front runner larry elder crisscrossing The state they're also taking a page from president trump's 2020 playbook led by trump himself does anybody believe the california recall election isn't rigged he said in a statement in an interview with msnbc's jacob soboroff elder would not commit to accepting the results let's all work together on both sides of the aisle to make sure that the election is a fair election is that a commitment to accept the results of the election let's all work together to find Out whether or not the election tomorrow is a fair election let's all work together to do that so that is not a commitment to accept the results of the election tomorrow recalling newsom was always going to be a long shot in this deep blue state making the result less about this race than about how both parties emerge i think we might see some things out of this election that kind of gets spun into the narratives going to 22. 2022 of course is when the next election for governor is along with the midterms as you watch now governor newsom speaking live in sacramento the president behind him a big rally plan for later tonight now if newsom can win convincingly tomorrow it could make him seem invincible in those elections next year it also could provide a road map for democrats uh talking about things like covet mandates if any if he does not do well tomorrow Or does not live up to expectations well that could make him seem vulnerable for the republicans they could learn some lessons if they lose about what it takes to compete in a state where they have not held one statewide office in 15 years or shep they could just argue that the election was stolen scott thank you
