California recall election: Biden campaigns with Gavin Newsom

US President Joe Biden has thrown his support behind California Governor Gavin Newsom, on the eve of a vote that could remove the governor from office.

The recall vote will see Californians decide if they approve of Mr Newsom, and if not, who should replace him.

At a rally in Long Beach, Mr Biden said the result would “reverberate around the world”.

Polls show a comfortable lead for the Democrat, whose main rival, Larry Elder, is a conservative radio host.

Mr Newsom was democratically elected and took office in 2019, but Republicans hope to unseat him early.

It is only the second-ever recall vote for a governor to appear on the ballots of the Democratic state.
