Biden joins Newsom as California governor makes final push in recall election

Polls show governor with double-digit lead in race that once appeared tight

Gavin Newson made a final push through the state on the eve of California's gubernatorial recall election, with Joe Biden joining the governor on the campaign trail as he made a last plea to voters.

With just one day to go before the recall race concludes, Newsom appears to be in a strong position. The latest surveys indicate that the effort to unseat the governor is struggling, with recent surveys showing Newsom with a double-digit lead. Some antsy Republicans seeking to replace the governor - including his frontrunning challenger, the radio host Larry Elder - are already bracing for defeat by spreading false conspiracy theories that the election is rigged.
