The California Democratic Party was criticized for calling the recall effort a “California coup” just days after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Law enforcement officials are putting “additional security measures” in place at California’s state capitol building amid warnings from the FBI that last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol could be echoed across the country.

The governor canceled the briefing amid unrest in Washington, D.C., where a mob objecting to Biden’s presidential victory breached the U.S. Capitol’s security barriers.

California received about 1.3 million doses, but only about 454,000 people have received the vaccine, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.

The party exposed something that has long been the subject of quiet discussion in Sacramento: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to maintain a tight relationship with Jason Kinney, director of a lobbying firm with business before the governor.

California students in kindergarten through second grade would be allowed back on campus when pandemic conditions improved under a proposal announced Wednesday.

Shirley Weber would be only the fourth woman to ever hold the position of California secretary of state and the first Black woman to do so in state history.

Newsom’s chief of staff, Ann O’Leary, is leaving the administration and will be replaced by Jim DeBoo, a longtime Sacramento political strategist.

During a midday news conference from his Fair Oaks home, Newsom said that everyone in his family has tested negative for the virus.

The governor’s office said the family learned about the potential exposure to the coronavirus Friday and was tested Sunday morning. Their results came back negative.
