9:15 am
we are a at the scene. you can see this video here along 85 near the union avenue on-ramp. all lanes of southbound 85 are blocked. and chp is recommending drivers take another route. the closure comes after a multi car crash caused by a wrong way driver happened a short time ago just before 9:00 a.m. chp has not said how long 85 will be closed and you can get updates on this breaking news on our website as well on abc7.com and on the abc7 app and we will continue to update as we get new information throughout the show. it now seems almost all but certain that the effort to recall governor gavin newsom will qualify nearly 1.2 million valid signatures counted so far. 300,000 short of those required. the deadline to submit signatures was last wednesday and now officials have until april 29th to count and verify the remaining signatures. our abc7 contributor joins me to break this down.
9:16 am
good morning. >> it is going to be an interesting time. >> you lived third 2003 as well. what you make of this? we are heading toward the headi second ever recall election of a governor. >> the second and there might be more to come. what we have is sort of a ragtag group of people that reportedly tried to recall gavin newsom over the years but this time it caught fire for a couple of reasons and not the least of which was the covid-19 pandemic. the shutting down of businesses and schools. the shutting down of the state has caused a lot of tension among people. a lot of people lost jobs and money and frankly are at wits end. and then you have the governor show up for that famofamofamo and that is when this ragtag got national attention, national republican money and a lot of signatures out there to recall newsom. whether or not it happens remains to be seen. going into the race, he has a fight on his hands.
9:17 am
according to a poll last week by emerson college and the next are media group, gavin has favoring a recall. that is 30% of the voters. 1000 voters favoring a recall. 42% are against the recall. the rest are either undecided or don't plan to vote. there is not a lot of wiggle room right there with no one over 50%. >> the numbers have to be pretty troubling for newsom. i know talking to a lot of his allies and democrats in the state, they are brushing this off like, yeah will qualify but there is no way that california whatever go for this. the demographics of the state are such -- so different from 2003 that they feel very confident. but i think that poll suggests maybe they should be a little more concerned then they are acting. >> they should be. if there is one thing we learned in the last 4-6 years in politics is there is no such thing as conventional wisdom. and the past is no indication of the future.
9:18 am
this is not just a statement about gavin newsom but a statement about the state of the state and how people are feeling about that. what newsom's campus hoping for is that more and more people, as they get vaccinated and people get out more and businesses reopen and the temperature drops and people are feeling more comfortable of things. the flipside is if schools don't reopen and businesses stumble or if there are unexpected things between now and the vote such as fires, earthquakes or the rolling brown house we have seen in the past. all of those things could make people just as unhappy as they are now. so he has his work cut out. the other side gets to sit back and play off of whatever is happening. >> what are you hearing from team newsom? it sounds like he is staffing up on the political side to make sure he is ready for the fight. >> he is. and he is basically laying it out there that this is a republican challenge and the gop has targeted him in the wake of the term to feed to be
9:19 am
a democrat that pays the price. that serves newsom in a couple of ways. it makes it political rather than being based on his performance. what you try to do is say, it is not about me about me about national. and we cannot have republicans calling the shot. is more comfortable to fight off that then questions about, why did you declare the state of emergency is? how have you been disturbing vaccines? is it working or is it not? the other thing is, and you know about 2003 because you are doing a documentary on it. one of the key things he has to do is keep another democrat out of the race. of a democrat enters the race, then all the sudden it is not about the republicans and that changes everything. >> it is so interesting to look at these parables from 2003 until now and looking back at the old video and footage from that time, you can see davis at the time doing what newsom is doing. just brushing it off. these are right wing extremists. this is looney tunes.
9:20 am
these groups. and and look what happened then. granted, there are differences as well in the sense that the democrats are different. california -- it was not implausible at the time for republican to become the governor and win a race like that. but you are seeing this strategy play out. >> you are. the result -- who knows what it will be. nobody predicted arnold schwarzenegger getting in the race the last time. and by the way, when he jumped in, everybody said, you are kidding me. there is no way californians will vote for conan the barbarian to be the governor. but it is a tactic and you have to remember that elections are about policies and promises. recalls are about performance. and that is a different criteria. it is going to be an interesting couple of months. we will see this qualify. we will be watching the pandemic as it goes on. and we will again be the talk of the country. >> final question for you. we have seen john cox say he will be running and kevin
9:21 am
falconer. who else do you think might jump in? at this point, newsom does not seem so concerned about those candidates. but will we see like an arnold schwarzenegger type figure get in that might shake this up? >> they are worried about a celebrity getting in. because the celebrity commands instant attention and instant recognition. don't ever forget that what the candidates are saying publicly isn't necessarily what they are saying privately. and if gavin knudsen thought there was no reason to do this, they would not be having this recall committee and this pumping up of him hitting the state as hard as he is. he says he is taking it seriously and if he says he is taking it seriously, you can bet it is seriousit is seriousis >> in interesting year in california. to learn more about the recall effort, we are breaking down how the recall process works in california. is complicated. you can find it on abc7.comon aa
