Predicting that Newsom will win the Californai recall race later this year, Pelosi rejected any notion that Democrats should run a back-up candidate as an insurance policy.

During a news conference with reporters on Thursday Pelosi said: “I think it’s an unnecessary notion. I don’t even think it rises to the level of an idea”
Fox News reports: Pelosi suggested the recall effort is being funded by backers of former President Donald Trump and said Democrats should all help Newsom stay in office.
“I think that the governor will defeat this quite successfully, and we’ll all help him do that,” Pelosi, D-Calif., added.
Backers of Newsom’s recall effort needed 1.5 million valid signatures from California residents by March 17 to trigger a special election later this year. Organizers of the effort say they turned in 2.1 million signatures by the deadline. Election officials have until April 29 to validate the signatures for a final tally, but the governor has acknowledged the effort was likely successful to force an election.
During a recall election, voters will be asked two questions: Should Newsom be recalled, and who should replace Newsom if he is removed?
So the question for Democrats is should they run a fallback candidate on the ballot if voters, indeed, want Newsom out. Tom Steyer, a billionaire who ran for president in 2020, is conducting polling as a precursor to possibly entering the race as a backup candidate, Politico reported Tuesday, citing information from three sources.
Democrats suffered a big defeat during the 2003 recall of Democratic Gov. Gray Davis when Republican movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected.
Democrats were initially united in not running an alternative candidate to Davis, but Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante changed his mind and got into the race — sending a muddled message to Democratic voters, the Los Angeles Times reported.
This time around, Pelosi expressed confidence Democrats will succeed.
“The governor will defeat this initiative, he will continue to be governor and he’ll go on to another victory in the election,” Pelosi added.

She knows it’s all crooked Has for decades Absolution .
Dr. Su Pan, California medical dictator is in charge. It doesn’t matter who the governor is
So confident. Almost like she knows the fix is in…
Nasty Nancy Piglosi may think she’s confident, but she’s actually quite the opposite – in panic mode, for sure. The recall signatures have already surpassed the numbers needed for Governor Moonbeam’s ouster. He’ll be replaced by a Conservative Republican who’ll set California back in the right direction.
Lord, I hope so.
Sounds like she paid good money to keep her creep nephew in power.
dems just bought 4 cases of laser printer toner cartredges
wonder where Gavin gets his cocaine from now. Bet he gets it from Slick Willie Brown via London Breed.
Dominion recount? It’s as easy as 1,2,3.
The Witch knows that fraud works. Of course he will win. He probably won through fraud already. No doubt Nancy Lugosi has won through fraud. Who would actually vote for her?
Actually you bring up some great points, to wit, WHO would actually vote for such a person as Pelosi. People who approve of tearing up a President’s speech in front of the whole world??!!! How does that make the U.S. look to the world. But then, leave it to a party like today’s democratic party to engage in this kind of vile and criminal stuff. In my way of thinking, anyone who votes for the democratic party is shooting themselves in the foot and helping to desttroy their future and the future of the U.S. President Trump was a school boy, compared to the criminal politicians in the democratic party, who seem to all agree with each other on their criminality..
The contributing taxpayers are leaving this corrupt state as fast as they can. Lets see these corrupt politicians run the state when all they have is the tax leeches that voted for them.
What does she know?? Pelosi knows that the democratic party is a criminal organization, accountable to no one and respectful of no one who does approve of or does not allow their criminal activities, California Governor Newsom and New York Governor.Cuomo, being just two huge examples of this criminality. In essence, Pelosi is head of a crime syndicate. Bringing up the dimwit President Joe Biden, is not necessary since he is nothing more than a puppet.
Oh, why will he win Pelosi? is the “fix” in for governor of California like it was for President of the U.S.? Newsom doesn’t deserve to be governor. When Covid 19 became a reality in California, slob Gavin Newsom, immediately claimed it was a white problem as was everything else wrong in California. This guy is an anti-white bigot and a leftist race baiting slob. I don’t feel that any of the whites I know are bad people but they are hardworking taxpaying people. Newsom has to go. He’s a disgrace to everyone who wants a California where all cultures can get along, without incessant race baiting his “aunt” Pelosi engages in, whom he must be copying.
