Recall effort to oust California Gov. Gavin Newsom officially has enough signatures

The effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom became official Monday, with state officials saying the campaign had collected 1.6 million valid signatures.

Organizers needed 1.5 million people to back the recall election, which likely won’t occur until the fall.

The announcement from the Secretary of State’s office comes days after Caitlyn Jenner — the former Olympian, longtime Republican, and transgender activist — announced that she was joining the race as a “compassionate disruptor.”
