Larry Elder Says Dem Power Players More Concerned With Controlling U.S. Senate Than Protecting Gov. Newsom In CA Recall

Leading Republican California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder on Friday said national Democrats and their donors who are meddling in the special recall election set for September 14 have other motives than merely saving Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom.

Speaking to nationally syndicated conservative radio host Mark Levin, Elder said many of those power players are focused on preventing the GOP from taking control of the U.S. Senate. The chamber is equally divided between the two parties with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote.

VP Harris is expected to campaign with Newsom in the Bay Area on Wednesday. The governor said earlier this week that President Joe Biden “will be out here soon” to stump for him. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was featured on a television ad to “stop the Republican recall.” A columnist for the left-leaning Los Angeles Times recently “warned” readers that “Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy.” And Newsom’s political action committee has received big bucks from billionaire Democratic megadonors like Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings, New York-based progressive philanthropist George Soros, and organized labor.

“All of these people are scared to death about one big thing,” said Elder. “They couldn’t care less about Gavin Newsom. They care about the 50-50 split in the Senate in Washington D.C.”
