New Gavin Newsom Ad Says Recall Outcome Is 'Matter of Life and Death'
The outcome of next month's California gubernatorial recall election will be "a matter of life and death" amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to an ad Governor Gavin Newsom's campaign released Monday.
The ad contrasted Newsom's approach to implementing vaccine requirements with that of his top Republican challenger, the conservative radio host Larry Elder.
As numbers of new virus infections rose in California with the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, Newsom announced a vaccine mandate for health care workers and last week implemented a similar mandate for teachers and school staff as children began returning to their classrooms for in-person instruction. While Newsom's Stop the Republican Recall campaign said in the ad the Democrat was "protecting California," it said Elder was encouraging "deadly" conspiracy theories.
"What's at stake in the September 14 recall? It's a matter of life and death," a narrator says at the beginning of the 30-second ad.
The ad later shows Elder posing with former President Donald Trump for a photo in which both men are seen giving a thumbs-up. It also displays a screenshot of an August 10 tweet in which Elder said California will have no mask or vaccine mandates if he is elected to replace Newsom.
