Former U.S. Rep. Doug Ose said Tuesday he was dropping out of the gubernatorial recall race after suffering a heart attack. It is what [it] is: my campaign for governor is over,” Ose said in a statement sent from his campaign. The 66-year-old Republican said he suffered the heart attack on Sunday and was treated at Mercy General Hospital in Sacramento. Ose embraced Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy in early 2016 and served as a state chair for him later that year. Ose entered the 2021 gubernatorial recall race in mid-March, before the campaign to recall Gov.
