George Soros donates another $500,000 to pro-Newsom effort as the California governor faces a recall election

Liberal billionaire George Soros has donated an additional $500,000 to an entity backing California Gov. Gavin Newsom, financial disclosure records reveal, according to Fox News.

Soros donated the massive sum to the "Stop the Republican Recall of Governor Newsom" organization on Monday, according to the outlet, which noted that the move came on top another half million dollars that he had previously supplied.

On the recall ballot, voters will indicate whether they believe Newsom should be removed and they will also vote for a potential replacement candidate.

If a majority of voters seek to oust Newsom from office, he will be ejected more than a year before his current term is slated to conclude and the candidate with the most votes will become the state's new governor who will serve out the remainder of Newsom's term. But if half or more of the votes oppose recalling Newsom, he will retain his position.
