Top Democrats from California are showing support for Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) amid a GOP-led recall effort targeting him as the California Democratic Party holds its annual convention.
In video messages to the convention released by the state party on Saturday, Democrats including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Harris, formerly a U.S. senator from California, showed their support for the governor.
"I want to thank our friend and governor, Gavin Newsom, for his leadership," Harris said at the beginning of her video message, adding, "I support him 100 percent."
"With the leadership of Gov. Gavin Newsom and [California Democratic Party Chairman] Rusty Hicks, we will continue strengthening our state," Pelosi added.
Newsom addressed the recall effort in his own video message to the convention, claiming that "national Republicans and extreme right-wingers, they're not sitting back. They're throwing everything they can at their recall power grab all in hopes - all in hopes - of rolling back all the important progress we have made together."
"We can't let them win," he added.

Pelosi: After hours deep in prayer, as I am a Catholic, I awoke this morning to the dawn having made the decision to back my nephew Gavin in the power play to hold Democrat power in my state of California.
Inspiring.
A lot of Dems signed the recall. Interesting future, maybe.
That’s not news. If they refused to support him, that would be news.
What progress has California made under Newsom’s leadership?
More feces in San Francisco and LA streets?
Nice, scoop Mr. Bowden. Democrats are supporting Democrats. Got it.
Please, please, please California, recall this narcissistic, adulterous bastard SOB. Please.
I wonder if this pisses off rats that are sick of the rat establishment. Supposedly there are lot Democrats that want too see Newsom recalled.
Hasn’t California gone through this before? Yes, with Gay Davis. They elect a Rat, the Rat screws all sh— up, they recall the Rat, then they install another Rat.
“...of rolling back all the important progress we have made together.”

What progress? People are fleeing the state to the point where they’re losing a Congressional seat.
More and more I believe politicians are not elected but instead selected
Anarcho-Tyrants of a feather oppress together.
He's a dick. Biden and Harris support him prove my point, and we all know what Kamala likes to get ahead.
Ask Willie Brown.
Da flies gots to protect their turds.
“Please, please, please California, recall this narcissistic, adulterous bastard SOB. Please.”
If they do, Newsom’s replacement will make him look like Reagan by comparison. Cali is not turning to the political right.
Isn’t Newsom Pelosi’s nephew?
In other news, water is wet.
While we’re on the topic, I wonder how many phony ballots Pelosi’s machine has ordered from China for the upcoming recall election?
We all know there will be MASSIVE cheating...just to make sure that Auntie Nanzi’s favorite boy toy stays in his mansion in Sacramento
You do not know that. I have heard so many responses as such, all claiming to know the future. His future political career will be destroyed when this adulterous bastard is recalled. Second, let the voters decide, is that what the entire process is about? More to say, but later....
Sure, the voters will decide, and current surveys show a majority of California voters want to keep Newsom in office. The Public Policy Institute of California’s March survey found 56% of likely voters would support Newsom in a recall election, while 40% would vote to recall him. But in the very unlikely possibility that Newsom is booted, voters there are not going to replace him with anything but another liberal. Dems outnumber GOP voters there by 2.5 - 1.
