It’s a recall effort that many political watchers never expected to get much traction, but here we are just over a week away from election day, and Governor Newsom -- while leading in the polls -- still finds himself caught in a pitched battle for his political life. 

On this edition of KCBS In Depth we check in on the latest developments in California’s recall election and also take a broader look at what this political upheaval will mean for the state going forward.

Guests: 

• Doug Sovern, political reporter, KCBS | host, The State of California
• Dan Schnur, California political strategist | professor, UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies

Host: Keith Menconi
