California Gov. Gavin Newsom gave a victory speech on the evening of Sept. 14 to celebrate what appeared to be a likely win in the gubernatorial recall election.
Unofficial results of the 2021 gubernatorial recall election as of 9:35 pm showed Gavin Newsom was likely not recalled and would remain governor of California.
Newsom said while Californians voted "No" on the recall, they said "Yes" to his administration's goals.
Larry Elder received the most votes at 43.6 percent among candidates who would have replaced Newsom if he was recalled.
The grassroots effort to recall the governor began in 2020, more than a year before the recall petition cleared on June 23, 2021 and state officials confirmed there were over 1,495,709 signatures, the amount required to hold a special recall election.
Amid the recall process, Newsom also faced critics who opposed his decision to allow for 76,000 state inmates, including violent criminals and repeat felons to exit prison earlier than their release date through the help of Proposition 57 that allows inmates to receive credits for good behavior.
The last time a governor was recalled in the state was in 2003 when Gray Davis was in office.
