President Joe Biden implored California voters to send a message to the nation by keeping Gavin Newsom as their governor in Tuesday’s recall election and rejecting a Republican whom he derided as a “the closest thing to a Trump clone I’ve ever seen in your state.”
“The eyes of the nation are on California,” Biden told a rally at Long Beach City College on Monday night. “Because the decision you’re about to make isn’t just going to have a huge impact on California, it’s going to reverberate around the nation, and quite frankly, not a joke, around the world.”
