• Gavin Newsom faces a renewed effort to recall him from the California governorship.
• Rescue California is seeking to oust Newsom over what it says is his inattention to state issues.
• "Gavin Newsom has abandoned the state to advance his presidential ambitions," the group contends.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing a new recall attempt, with a group of conservative activists arguing that the Democratic chief executive has "abandoned" the state and has instead been focused on booting his profile ahead of a potential presidential run.

The organizers of the group, Rescue California, will present the recall petition papers to Newsom's office on Monday, kicking off what will be a lengthy and likely grueling drive to qualify the recall for the ballot.
