In California: Who's bankrolling Newsom recall?
While organizers of the campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom say the effort has been funded by a group of grassroots supporters who have had it with pandemic restrictions and the governor’s unfortunate decision to defy his own shelter-in-place orders by attending a dinner party, it seems the main donors are, according to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle, "conservative fundraising arms, big tech venture capitalists, real estate investors, and a number of retirees."
Recall organizers say they've raised almost $4 million — and more than half of that amount has come from about 24 contributors, each of whom have donated between $90,000 and $500,000.
Dan Newman, who serves as a consultant for Newsom’s planned 2022 re-election campaign, said the recall is the result of national Republicans looking for an issue after losing the White House. But leaders of the recall effort say the attempt to blame national Republican groups is misguided.
