SAN LEANDRO, Calif. — In one of his final efforts to defeat the recall, Governor Gavin Newsom will be joined by President Joe Biden on September 13, where the president will be campaigning for the democratic governor following a visit to Northern California to survey wildfire damage.

On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris joined Newsom in the Bay Area, where she spoke to voters about what’s at stake if her longtime friend loses the election.

“We are here to say, we fight for Gavin Newsom,” said Harris at a rally in San Leandro. The vice president was first set to travel to California two weeks ago, but canceled her trip after the attacks in Afghanistan.

Harris noted the implications of Newsom losing the recall stretch beyond California. She also compared the governor’s leadership to GOP leaders in other states.

“What’s happening in Texas, what’s happening in Georgia, what’s happening around our country with these policies that are about attacking women’s rights, reproductive rights, voting rights…they think if they can win in California, they can do this anywhere,” Harris adds.

The vice president along with a growing list of high profile politicians who have been rallying for Newsom are warning voters about the likelihood of similar policies being implemented in California if Larry Elder is successful in the recall.  

“The fact that the president of the United States is willing to come out before the election — that’s a big deal — logistically and otherwise,” said Newsom. “I think all of us understand the consequential nature of this election.”

During a campaign event in San Francisco’s Mission District Tuesday, Newsom met with Latino leaders as part of a push to get more support from the state’s largest ethnic group who makes up about 28% of registered voters.

“We want to support him,” said Reyna Colores, who’s been a Newsom supporter since he was the Mayor of San Francisco.

Colores is one of many volunteers phone banking on the governor’s behalf in hopes of encouraging those who are still on the fence to vote no in the recall.

“We’ve received help under his leadership,” explained Colores, who shared how much it meant to receive a Golden State Stimulus payment.

The funds from the check she received is part of Newsom’s $12 billion plan to provide relief to those hit hardest by the pandemic.  

“It came at a time when I needed it the most,” said Colores, who noted she was not expecting to receive any help from the state.

As for Newsom, he is taking no breaks from now until September 14 and hopes the visits from Biden and Harris will help motivate the rest of his base to turn out on his behalf.
