Not all states support recalls. California kind of goes all in on the democracy thing with the ease of introducing ballot initiatives and recalls and such. It’s mostly fine, but it can also result in pretty stupid plays like this.
Are recalls possible in other US states, such that people could try to recall other governors?
Certainly some. But unless there’s been a massive change in circumstances or character (e.g. named in a criminal case, or turned against their supporters), you’re unlikely to get results. The same people that voted them into office would have to vote them out. This goes against the entire premise of the incumbent advantage.
