California recall election of Gavin Newsom to wrap up Tuesday: LIVE UPDATES

A Los Angeles-area poll worker dressed in clothing supportive of former President Trump was removed from a voting site Tuesday after election officials advised him that his attire was "inappropriate and unacceptable."

The unidentified worker was spotted at a polling site in West Hollywood's Plummer Park Community Center, a spokesman for the office of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk told Fox News. A photo showed him wearing a "Trump 2020" cap and a T-shirt that read: "Where's Hunter" and "Trump 2020" as he sat behind a laptop.

A top California Democrat, who has endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, warned Tuesday that the Golden State's next generation will be disadvantaged if the incumbent is successful in beating back the recall.

Former State Sen. Gloria Romero told Fox News that education is a top issue for her because of her upbringing. She is the daughter of a mother with a sixth grade education, who went on to earn a Ph.D. and chair the state's Senate Education Committee.

"To me, education is a civil rights issue, and especially in California with over 6 million children in the public school system," she said, lamenting the percentages of minority children in the state who are unable to perform in math and reading at a grade-level standard.

The effort to fight a recall of California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has raised roughly $83 million, a number that dwarfs the fundraising of the governor's most formidable GOP rival, radio host Larry Elder.

While a major share of Newsom's haul came from groups one might expect – such as the Democratic Party, unions and Planned Parenthood – the governor enjoyed a boost from some big names in the business world who pitched in to keep him in office.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings led the charge with a $3 million contribution, while billionaire investor and major left-wing donor George Soros pitched in a cool $1 million. Priscilla Chan, wife of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, gave another $750,000.

Kevin Paffrath, a Democratic gubernatorial challenger in California, told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, Tuesday, on ‘The Story’ that he hopes to win against Gov. Gavin Newsom in the recall election and suggested that his policies were an "abject failure."

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, the ex-GOP flack-turned-liberal host allowed a guest on her show to assert without pause that Larry Elder, the top Republican gubernatorial candidate who could become California's first Black governor, represents "Trumpism in Blackface."

Wallace welcomed MSNBC political contributor Jason Johnson on Tuesday's installment of "Deadline: White House," where she spent a portion of the show torching Elder's "lack of masculinity" ahead of Tuesday's recall election against Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

"Today we had a political Earthquake in California. Whatever the results of tonight's Recall Election, a loud and clear TREMOR has run through California's political class," Randy Economy, the former senior advisor and official media spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign effort said in a statement Tuesday.

The statement continued: "Over the last few months, millions and millions of California voters RATTLED State leaders and pushed back on Gavin Newsom's disastrous performance as Governor. Newsom severely injured California's small businesses and individuals. He inappropriately restricted the freedoms of citizens and religious organizations. Citizens of all parties and all backgrounds have SHAKEN the State's leaders and let it be known they can an will be heard. The Recall Gavin Newsom Movement has VIBRATED in every corner of California. Perhaps this Recall is just a FORESHOCK to a movement of greater magnitude."

California parents – at least one of whom voted for Gov. Gavin Newsom – loudly support the recall effort against the Democrat due to his restrictive COVID-19 policies on schools. They fear that should Newsom survive the recall Tuesday, he will impose even stricter policies, subjecting children to prolonged and unnecessary suffering.

"I want my kids to have a normal life," Suverna, a stay-at-home mother of two in Los Angeles County, told Fox News on Monday. "It's ridiculous, all these restrictions. The burden all fell on the shoulders of these young kids."

Jonathan Zachreson, founder of Reopen California Schools and a father of three who lives in Placer County, explained the evidence that shutting down schools has had a devastating impact on children.

"I don’t think there’s going to be any question about this election," he told "The Story." "I think so many people are angry about all the issues… so many people are going to vote yes on the recall, there won’t be any question about the outcome."

"I just hope my opponent is willing to accept the results when he loses."

As the sun set over the great Pacific in Venice Beach on Monday, so too did it set on the California recall election. With only Election Day left to go most ballots have already been cast. Gavin Newsom’s future rests in votes that now mostly just have to be counted.

On the Venice boardwalk with its burger spots and mildly offensive T-shirts for sale, signs of the election were few and far between.

A small camera crew for a cable news network interviewed some passersby. One older gentleman doing a workout in his Make America Great Again hat exercised while listening to conservative radio. But mostly what was in the air was the wafting smell of weed, not excitement over Election Day.

"I want him to be recalled but it’s not going to happen," J.J. told me. I heard that a lot.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder could make history as California’s first Black governor if he unseats Gov. Gavin Newsom in Tuesday’s recall election – but the liberal media hasn’t done the conservative radio host any favors. 

Elder has been constantly vilified by the press since emerging as the frontrunner among the 46 candidates looking to replace Newsom. The GOP hopeful has been called the "Black face of White supremacy," a "very real threat to communities of color," and even a  a "model minority."

Fox News contributor Leo Terrell has called coverage of Elder "disgraceful" and Fox News Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock was particular peeved that that a racially charged attack on Elder went largely unreported by prominent liberal news organizations.

Caitlyn Jenner, one of the 46 replacement candidates running in the California recall election of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, voted in-in person on Tuesday.

The 1976 Olympic gold-medal-winning decathlete turned transgender rights activist and nationally known TV personality cast her ballot at a polling station in the Beverly Hills, California city hall. Several voters asked for selfies with Jenner after she finished voting.

Jenner grabbed plenty of attention when she launched her campaign in April. But she appeared to be playing defense this summer, defending her July trip to Australia – to appear in a reality TV program – as she deflected accusations that she wasn’t a serious contender.

It’s decision day in the nation’s most populous state as Californians vote in the recall election of embattled first-term Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. 

The governor, who was overwhelmingly elected in 2018 in the heavily blue state, is facing a recall sparked last year mainly over accusations that he mishandled his state’s response to the coronavirus.

Here's everything you need to know about the recall election: Answers to your questions about the California recall

According to the California Secretary of State's office, roughly 8.6 million ballots in the Golden State's recall election of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom have been handed in and accepted.

That means that 38.3% of California's 22 million registered voters who were mailed ballots last month had already returned them heading into Election Day.

Ballots must be postmarked by the end of Tuesday – or deposited into drop boxes or handed in in-person at the polls by 8 p.m. PT.

Larry Elder is criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom over the embattled Democratic governor's closing message to supporters to vote "NO" in Tuesday's gubernatorial recall election.

The conservative talk radio host and polling and fundraising front runner among the 46 replacement candidates on the ballot took to Twitter Tuesday morning to write "Gavin Newsom's closing message: "Vote NO for California's future". Vote no for California's future, Gavin?"

"Vote YES," Elder urged.

President Biden took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to urge Californians to vote no in the recall election of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

"California, today is Election Day. We’re counting on you to vote NO on the recall to keep @GavinNewsom in office and California moving forward," the president tweeted. "Polls are open until 8pm. Make your voice heard."

Ballots mailed last month to the Golden State’s 22 million registered voters must be postmarked by the end of Tuesday – or deposited into drop boxes or handed in in-person at the polls by 8 p.m. PT.

The president woke up in the Golden State on Tuesday morning after hours earlier headlining an election eve rally with Newsom in the southern California city of Long Beach.

Stressing what's at stake in the election, Biden said that "the eyes of the nation are on California because the decision you’re going to make isn't just going to have a huge impact on California, it’s going to reverberate around the nation, and quite frankly — not a joke — around the world."

Pro-Trump protesters greeted President Biden as he arrived in California on Monday.

Hundreds of protesters were captured on video holding signs and chanting as Biden's motorcade drove by prior to a Long Beach recall event.

Most of those in the crowd were Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom critics, reports said.

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

Some were heard chanting "Trump, Trump" while others apparently yelled "f--- Joe Biden," according to video posted on Twitter.

“We have a corrupt governor and an even more corrupt president,” Sheila Wong, a resident told the Press-Telegram. “We’re here to show that our governor needs to go.”

Biden later spoke at the event to lend support to Newsom a day before Tuesday's California recall election.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's team seems to be striking a confident tone just a day before Tuesday's California recall election, and said that there's no "scenario where we lose."

"I don’t see a scenario where we’re not talking about a victory for the governor and a complete rejection of this appalling partisan power grab," said Newsom strategist Sean Clegg. "I think what we’re seeing in our projections in the early vote is we’re performing so well we might reach a point where there’s not enough Republican vote left on the table for them to overtake us. We’ll let you know when we reach that." 

Newsom, who was overwhelmingly elected governor in 2018 in California, is facing a recall sparked last year mainly over accusations that he mishandled his state’s response to the coronavirus.

On Monday night, President Biden urged Californians to keep Newsom as their governor during a rally in Long Beach.

Tuesday is decision day in California's recall election of embattled Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Newsom, who was overwhelmingly elected governor in 2018 in the heavily blue state of California, is facing a recall sparked last year mainly over accusations that he mishandled his state’s response to the coronavirus.

Republicans see the recall election as their best chance to topple a politician who has never lost an election during his years as San Francisco mayor, California lieutenant governor and now governor – and their first chance to win a statewide contest since the 2006 gubernatorial reelection victory by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was a moderate Republican.

Three years earlier, Democratic Gov. Gray Davis became only the second governor in U.S. history to be successfully recalled and was succeeded by Schwarzenegger, who won the recall election.
