California State Sen. Josh Newman, a Democrat who lost his seat in California in a recall election before winning it back, is working to raise the constitutional bar in the state.
"The recalls are like trick plays like you would see in sports," said Newman, speaking to CNN today. "If you can't win a regular election, you go to the recall card."
Newman won the 29th District seat in 2016 but lost it in a recall in 2018. He won back the seat in the 2020 election.
