A sector of California has questioned Gavin Newsom’s handling of the pandemic in California. According to the newspaper The New York Times , California has reported more than 3.6 million cases of Covid-19 and almost 60 thousand deaths.

For the recall election to be a reality, those who are in favor of the process must gather one million 495 thousand 709 petition signatures. The deadline to collect and send these signatures is Wednesday, April 7, as officials have until April 29 to verify the signatures. As reported by the organizers of the process, as of April 6, more than two million signatures have been collected.
Last February, Caitlyn Jenner said that she had never thought about running for governor, although she did highlight that it would be an excellent opportunity to promote LGBT + rights.
In 2020, during an interview for PEOPLE magazine , she explained that her “way of thinking” had changed a lot in recent years and that she had stopped identifying as a Republican. Now she describes herself as economically conservative and socially progressive.
She was also specifically criticized for partnering with “Trump Victory,” a foundation that helped organize the meeting that allegedly incited the January 6 assault on the capitol. It also served as the organizer of the demonstrations in favor of an alleged electoral fraud after the Republican’s defeat.
