Biden set to visit California Monday for rally against Newsom recall

by •

President Joe Biden will make his long-touted visit to California Monday in support of Gov. Gavin Newsom, with the pair expected to campaign in Long Beach one day ahead of the deadline to return ballots and vote in the gubernatorial recall election.

Newsom’s campaign confirmed that the governor and Biden will appear together in Long Beach Monday, for what will be the campaign’s “final rally against the Republican recall.”

Newsom campaigned in Northern California on Wednesday with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Larry Elder, considered the leading Republican in the effort to replace Newsom, dismissed the high-level support for the governor.

“If Gavin Newsom thinks that flying in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — not exactly the most admired government officials at the present time — will make him look better, that’s all you need to know about how oblivious and detached Newsom is from a large majority of Californians,” Elder said.

The Long Beach stop is part of a three-state trip by Biden, who will first travel to Boise, Idaho, on Monday to visit the National Interagency Fire Center, followed by a stop in Sacramento to “survey wildfire damage,” according to The White House. Following the Newsom event later Monday, Biden will travel to Denver on Tuesday to tout his “Build Back Better” economic- recovery agenda.

Former President Barack Obama has also joined the campaign against the gubernatorial recall. Obama is starring in a new statewide ad urging  Californians to vote “No” on Newsom’s recall.

Californians to vote “No” on the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom as the election draws near.

  1. “STOP THE STEEL” – The ALCOA Company

    There is another republican who is planning lawsuits and whatnot for his election NEXT YEAR.

    They’ve lost their every-lovin’ minds, the republicans have.

  2. I am very happy that Republican Mayor Steve Hufbower of Palmdale will do the right thing and attend and support our popular Governor.

      • That’s it attend things! as his City Council is at odds with themselves and he has created a lot of chaos with our governing board. Bad chemistry maker.

        • Back when Hofbauer was still a councilmember, I was told that he and the rest of Rex’s minions on the council were never around City Hall.

          Hofbauer was attending to something other than Palmdale’s business.

          How come no one has posted a list of Hofbauer’s accomplishments? We have lots of room here.

  3. So no one is mad that Newsom is involved in the Rose McGowan scandal? That he ate with lobbyists indoors while we couldn’t? That his child went to school when our schools were shut down? That violent criminals were released early? That his winery was open, when other businesses and breweries were forced to shut? He is the definition of a hypocrite. He is a man that lacks integrity in every way. His white privilege is on display, and everyone worships it.

    • So where was all this outrage when Trump was telling foreign lobbyists “if you want to see the president and arrange favorable outcomes for your nation make sure you stay at the Trump Hotel in Washington” and shooting bean commercials in the oval office?

      Hypocrite much?

      • Tim, it is possible to be outraged by both. This is a recall election on a California governor, and you are referencing the Trump. To your point, are there hypocritical actions by both Democrats and Republicans? Absolutely!

        • Trump exemplifies the Republican party. I don’t keep close enough tabs on republican governors to make similar observations about them off the top of my head. I do know that Greg Abbot is overseeing a shift in Texas that parallels the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, and that DeathSantis in Florida has become the darling of the Republican party by turning Florida into the biggest covid fatality zone in the industrialized world so the GOP can say “see Biden isn’t beating the pandemic either.” Those are more big picture features of GOP leadership rather than the kind of corrupted derails of day to day politics being talked about here.

        • Nothing, Eddie, nothing but nothing compares to the stuff Trump has done. NOTHING.

          You know that thing about not comparing apples and oranges dontcha?

          Well, nothing compares to the orange Trump.

          The Democrats don’t have any apples that are as corrupt and dishonest as Trump the grifter, the liar, the adultery, the traitor, etc.

          Do you have anything that comes close to Trump in corruption. There’s a picture of him in the dictionary next to “corruption”.

          So, why do you folks dishonestly try to compare Trump with Democrats? Is that all ya got?

      • There is no mention of Trump in the above question. You can’t get Trump out of your mouth. The talk is of Newsom. You can’t have an argument with yourself and then end with ” hypocrite much?” When literally no on is talking about Trump but you. A therapist would be of great value to your mental heath.

          • Is it you that sucks up the toilet water and acts as Biden’s bidet? Yes, I think it is. It is impossible to have a conversation with people that are so far left or right. We should have common goals, work together, but all you can talk about is a president that once was….! Get off the inter-webs, get some fresh air, sunlight, get out of your moms basement.

        • Well, Norman

          You tell Trump to just go away. But, no, he’s everywhere shooting his mouth off.

          It’s funny that you guys don’t want to hear his name after 4 years.

          • I do. Trump, Trump and more Trump. President Trump 45 and 47.

            Did you see the chants of “F**k Joe Biden’ at several at college football games and major league baseball games? Loved it.

            You guys will get spanked in the midterms. Speaker McCarthy has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

            PS: Even my grandson tells me I’m annoying.

            BTW: Wasssup?

          • Oh, Trumpist

            Did President Biden whine about the chants like your boy Trump does constantly.

            Biden wears his big boy pants all the time.

            Trump tried to put on his big boy pants but they wouldn’t fit his fat a$$.
            So he whines instead.

            You gotta admit that’s the truth, Trumpist.
            Biden can handle the heat in the kitchen.
            Trump whines about it.
            And, you whine about your comments being deleted.

            Agreed?

    • I love your hypocritical alligator tears… they nourish me!

      Republicans have NO STANDING since the Insurrection. Anyone voting Republican (or for this recall) are just as treasonist as those who tried to stop Congress.

      • No offense, but you seem quite functional…much more so than anyone still following the insurrectionists of the GOP anyway.

        • Tim, now you logically know that not all Republicans are insurrectionists, nazis, racists, and extremists. Some are not even Trump supporters. Just as all Dems are not socialists or progressives. Wouldn’t it behoove us to make the distinctions?

          Disclosure: I am not a Republican. Been a registered Independent longer than I want to remember because George Washington vociferously and passionately warned against joining parties in his farewell address. I leaned left when I was younger and more conservative as I got wiser.

          • You’re so “right” Trumpist.

            There is no more Republican Party.

            It went from the GOP, to the Tea Party and then the T-Party.

            So you are a Trumplican whatever that is if you voted for him. I don’t think that is a better option considering how thoroughly corrupt and treasonous he is.

            I wish the GOP would hurry up and go out of existence. I thought W would be the end but the Trumpers are like political herpes. You don’t want it but it won’t just go away.

          • Poor W.

            A pretzel almost killed him.

            Late night comedians have been on anti-depressants since W and Trump are gone.

            Hey, Trumpist. Looks like we have our own website here…The WT Times. No. Not W and Trump. William and Trumpist.

            Abandona all hope, ye who enter.

            We’re gonna getcha.

          • It doesn’t matter if an individual Republican (or republican supporting independent) isn’t a racist or an insurrectionist. That has become the party platform. So any “vote republican” is, in fact pro insurrection, pro racism, and supporting the end of the American experiment in democracy.

      • Wow, you really are dysfunctional and delusional. I suggest you get help fast. I hear the QAnon shaman is available for therapy sessions.

      • You mean the “insurrection” that Nancy Pelosi let happen. She is the last call for why police were not at the capitol. She has been sued to make the records public, but of course, she has a separate set of rules for herself. I visited the same building multiple times, and every single time there were more police than on that particular day. We all know it was a set up. Police letting people in the doors, and then standing back. Besides , what about the “insurrection” in Texas. They did the same thing to stop a vote, but of course only when it fits your narrative. There is no mention of BLM burning down the capitol, but of course that is acceptable because Trump was in office according to the extremist.

    • Notice, Patricia that for all the fuss about the French Laundry, it wasn’t a super-spreader event like the ones Trump had all last year infecting over 50 people in and around the White House. Ben Carson later died after attending one.

      It’s disgusting how you folks selectively pick things about Biden and Newsom after having ignored or dismissed the infinitley worse actions by Trump and his administration.

      Keep it up and you’ll get the responses here that you deserve.

      • Ben Carson just called and told me to tell William he is alive and well. Wasn’t it Herman Cain that died? From COVID or too much fast food?

        I really like and admire Ben Carson. I liked old Herman, too.

        • Oops. Ben Carson acts like he’s dead.

          Google “Is there something the matter with Ben Carson?”

          He’s not well in the head.

          When he was running in the campaign, I never heard any other doctors or nurses supporting him. You’d think they would say something. Something’s not right with him and yet you don’t see it.

          • Don’t look at me. I’m the biggest germ-a-phobe around. I didn’t step out of the house for over a year. Both shots. HEPA (sic?) filter masks. Nitrile gloves. Full face shields. If you can think of anything else I can do, please yell.

            Sad about Herman, but people that don’t take COVID seriously are nuts.

  4. I have one vote and I voted NO on the Recall. I have no problem with the work Gov. Newsom is doing. People are complaining about his work fighting COVID-19 and all that blame is to be given to our Former Pres. Toxic Trump. He unleashed a toxic lie about the virus and people were confused whether or not it was real and if it was, should they start gulping bleach concoctions to cure themselves of it. NONSENSE AND CONFUSTION! That started our losing the battle against the virus. Fortunately, we have scientists and right-minded politicians (Dems and Reps) to help correct that and Thankfully, I voted to KEEP NEWSOM.

    • And continues adding difficulty to this day.

      At this year’s CPAC republican governors cook the stage one after another to take credit and bask in the adulation when they announced how their state had “done it’s part” to thwart Biden’s vaccination goals. Every one of them IS vaccinated. Every one of them has access to all the treatment money can buy even if their state officially has ZERO ICU bed space. They are genuinely playing “killing a few hundred extra citizens to make sure Biden doesn’t succeed where Trump failed is the job.” And the leadership of the “conservative movement” (also probably all vaccinated) cheered them for it. Frankly it is beyond politics and into outright ghoulishness. But that is where Trump and Trumpists are making their stand.

      That’s why this recall election is so important. With the size of California’s population, instituting “good republican policies” and creating a mortality rate that the GOP has deemed acceptable (they actually call SOUTH DAKOTA ‘exemplary’ despite one of the highest mortality rates in the nation) would mean tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. That isn’t partisan hyperbole, that is just the cold hard numbers.

      By all indications, the GOP response to a spike in mortality and thirty thousand additional deaths in California would be “good, we made Biden look bad, keep up the good work.” That’s what the recall is about. If you haven’t voted yet, get at it, and vote NO. One of those thirty thousand graves that the GOP wants to dance on could be yours, or someone you love’s.

      • There is a House hearing right now on Afghanistan.

        The Republicans avoid noticing that 600,000+ Americans have died, many unnecessarily and continue fighting the vaccine mandates.

        Meanwhile, they pretend that far fewer than 600K people in Afghanistan, a WAR ZONE no less, is the higher priority.

        People die in our country from COVID, no big deal to Rs.

        13 soldiers dying in a terrorist attack in a war zone is a chance to bring down Biden. Nothing more. The Rs don’t really care about anybody, soldiers, Afghans, kids, whomever.

        Deja vu? They did the same thing with Benghazi, 10+ hearings and an 11 hour inquisition of Hillary designed to bring her down before an election. It was admitted.

        If they say they care about anyone, THEY’RE LYING.

        Unbelievable.

  5. “If Gavin Newsom thinks that flying in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — not exactly the most admired government officials at the present time — will make him look better, that’s all you need to know about how oblivious and detached Newsom is from a large majority of Californians,” Elder said.

    That line alone is so glaringly stupid that it should disqualify Elder from getting any votes at all.

    Biden and Harris ARE “not admired” among California Republicans…that is, among a quarter of the electorate. Guess what Larry the limpet brain, 25% isn’t “a large majority.” Go back to radio and leave politics to the people with working brain cells.

    • I always appreciate your addition to these conversations, you inspire me to one day actually add content to these conversations and not just snark.

      • Snark is fine, especially when it is funny snark.

        The constant drumbeat from certain posters of “I hate that Tim guy…that’s it, nothing else to say…didn’t even read the article so have nothing to say about that…didn’t read what the hated Tim guy said so have nothing to say about that…just saw his name so figured I would post that I hate him and see if I get a pat on the back from Hornblower…by the way, I hate that Tim guy”…that gets tiresome because it is just so repetitive and boring. But y’know, limited skill sets and all that.

        Thanks for the kind words.

        And for voting no on giving the GOP a chance to hijack the state and run it as hard into a ditch as they can…that IS what the recall is actually all about.

  6. Awesome, Newsom needs all the help he can get. I voted no, and i hope my fellow AV peeps vote the same way, we dont need no trump grifter, in CA.

    • I voted NO too, gotta keep the deplorables from overriding democracy. It has nothing to do with Newsom, this about keeping the Deplorables in their place.
