California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) recall election rhetoric took a hyperbolic turn this week, warning voters that his battle to remain in office is a “matter of life or death.” Newsom’s latest campaign ad, released Monday, puts the election in blunt terms: “What’s at stake in the Sept. 14 recall? It’s a matter of life and death,” the narrator says. The ad calls [Larry] Elder “the top Republican candidate” and highlights his opposition to mask and vaccine mandates.
