Efforts to recall Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao have gained significant traction. In Wisconsin, critics of Vos, who accuse him of undermining democracy and gerrymandering, have successfully collected over 10,000 signatures, surpassing the 6,850 required to force a recall election. This movement, notably supported by Trump backers, aims to oust Vos for being insufficiently aligned with MAGA principles. On the last day to sign the petition, Burlington Police detained recall petitioners and removed them from public property. Meanwhile, in Oakland, campaigners working to recall Mayor Thao reported gathering half of the signatures needed for their initiative. The recall efforts against both political figures underscore a growing trend of political accountability and grassroots activism.
