governor gavin newsom is facing reelection at this hour. the governor has 56% of the vote, and now we know he will face republican brian donnelly on the november ballot. governor newsom reacted to the overwhelming vote, saying quote across the country. republicans are attacking our fundamental rights as americans destroying democracy, stripping a woman of the right to choose and standing idly by his gun. violence claims too many lives. california is the antidote to their cynicism, leading with compassion, common sense and science continuing that fight and this was brian dolls reaction dollies reaction to the results. gavin newsom polling rates are dropping, and i think they're going to continue to drop when the power goes out this summer. we've seen drought. we see him not solving problems, quite frankly, and that's uh, californians are struggling with the cost of living. so i'm looking forward to this, uh, face off with gavin newsom. that's going to be fine. well dolly has been endorsed by the state's republican party. we'll look at the li

i don't think newsom is going anywhere but if that is the best that democrats can offer newsom or biden, i feel good about republicans winning in 2024. we have to keep our eyes on the price, 2022 winning back the house and the senate make sure the democrats don't destroy our country already further than they are doing. >> dagen: fighting inflation, what gavin newsom is doing in california, the state with $100 billion budget surplus in large part because of the federal covert release that the state got last year. but he's cutting checks to families that make $500,000 a year. and couldn't check for inflation release. some more money actually spurs inflation rather than fighting it, but he's in for a handout. >> it is a handout from the american taxpayers. this is what joe biden did, he took stimulus money and threw it into the economy, incentivize people not to work. this is why we have a new factory labor costs are up passed on to the consumer on top of gas prices being higher. everything we are suffering right now all ties directly into biden's policies. this is intentional. this is whe

newsome finish second to newsom in the primary. that is so that they can face off with the governor in november. the state republican party is endorsing state senator brian dolly from lassen county. he says his priorities are combating crime and homelessness and rolling back regulations on oil drilling to help gas prices. cost of living is if you're on a fixed income or your hourly wage earner, you're getting destroyed by gavin newsom policies. another challenger, michael shellenberger, is running as an independent. he says he has a plan for taking on the state's homelessness and drug crisis, including enforcement of a camping ban. they would be there with the police officer to say, look, we can get you into rehab right now. not in san francisco, but in some other place outside of the opener, drug markets or you can go with officer smith here to jail. those are your choices. the numbers are in newsom's favor. there are nearly twice as many registered democrats as republicans in the state, and so far his campaign has out raised his

americans and most california's don't agree with that definition of choice yet that's what governor newsom users. if you want it, you get it. that's what defines you as a woman being able to kill your child. states now we're free as of today. to say well in our state. we like to give some consideration to the life of the child, at least at some point, so it's very significant that states are now free. to consider and that lawmakers can actually go beyond the simplistic rhetoric of choice. and can look at the life of that child and say as they did before, roe, you know that's a human baby. and that baby is somebody wants to raise that kid. there are people waiting for years to adopt that same child. that's a human life, so yeah, we're excited. and in california, especially this doesn't ban a single abortion, not a single abortion, everything that california is done multiple millions of dollars poured into the abortion industry. well, that's going to continue. exactly we've seen that already in terms of governor newsom, saying that california will become a sanctuary for women seeking abortio

governor newsom makes it clear abortion access will remain. the concern is about people left without any options simply because of their location. >> thinking about women and to be mothers who do not have the same rights as we do. now, they do have the same rights. i think we're going backwards in history. amanda: another rally is planned for saturday morning at san jose city hall. amanda del castillo, abc7 news. >> newsom made it clear abortion access will remain in california and be made available to those outside our state. california is a safe haven for abortion access. >> in one week, the core has proven that it believes that guns should have more rights than women. >> this is a dark day for our little girls and other children who will come to age in a nation with fewer rights, freedoms and protections as the generations before them. >> governor newsom is joined with governors from washington and oregon, creating a west fog -- west coast offensive. the new decision was also met with celebration. >> i was shaking and so happy. >> americans

gavin newsom still cool. nice to have it rained like we got two inches of rain up in the marine county watershed up around mount tam and junior is not a typical time for us to get showers, but we did. it does help the fire danger. but mike as mike points out stuff's gonna dry out real quick. but again, we bought ourselves a little time, which is fine with me. most of the rain did fall out in marin county. i'm showing you the numbers again only because two point oh, and on mount tam is pretty impressive, and it shows you the variability based on topography of the bay area. rainfall the microclimates if you will, so right, so melt down there it is two point. oh and you go. what? as the crow flies five miles, eight miles to san francisco, and you've got 0.23. it's incredible. so just that topography that marin headlands 2000 over 2000 ft of mount tam, just capturing that moisture and squeezing it out. santa cruz mountains didn't do as great with a quarter of an inch. but again, those showers will dry out quickly

gavin newsom. we survive his own recall election. >> recent? it looks like if you check out at least the early numbers, a landslide win for him with 56% of the vote next closest was brian dolly at 16.8. what does this tell you as we head towards november? >> it means that governor's going to have a pretty easy walk back to the governor's mansion in january of next year. i think the more interesting races are the ones the down ballot, control. there's republicans actually, meaning all the other democrats in the comptroller's race. and so they're still which democrat will face chan after controllers going really interesting. but the governor's fine. the tenant governor is fine. i think that the the candidates pretty much for the most part, one, it a sharp division between democrat or republican. they actually supported covertly. i would who would be republicans against them rather than strongly funding in the end. it's a good cause. a little bit of problem voters in california want to be a little, you know, different. but i think pretty much ever

so i'm looking forward to this, uh, faced off with gavin newsom. that's going to be fine deli has been endorsed by the state's republican party. let's take a look at the lieutenant governor's race incumbent at lenny qanon lakis says, uh, she had 52% of the boat will be facing republican angela underwood jacobs in november's general election. now let's look at the race for state attorney general. the incumbent rob bonta is the top vote getters so far with 55% of the vote so far, republican nathan hochman has 18% of the vote. he's campaigned on the middle ground between tougher on crime and reform. close behind is eric early, who's more conservative? now he's at 17% of the vote, and here's what the state's two major political parties said about the crime issue. when you know you're running for governor , you're running for dog catcher. i think it's going to be incredibly difficult for you to run with that t behind your name is very clear what democrats one party rule has done to our state both at the statewide level and the local level. california vo
