    No Democrat has won the governorship of Iowa since 2006. No Democrat has held a Senate seat here…

  2. Xavier Becerra gives an absolutely awful answer, in substance and in form. He’s trying so very hard not to say that #TransRights are nothing that he’s concerned about.

  4. With days left before the 2 June California primary, there is little sign of the clarity that typically emerges in the closing stretch of a contested campaign season.

    The race to succeed term-limited Democratic governor Gavin Newsom appears to have settled into a tight
    three-way contest among Democrats Xavier #Becerra and Tom #Steyer and Republican Steve #Hilton,
    while voters in Los Angeles remain divided over whether to stand by embattled mayor Karen #Bass or entertain a challenger.

    At the federal level, a handful of newly redrawn congressional districts have intensified intra-party fights in some of the nation’s most consequential races.

    The uncertainty is striking in a state where Democrats hold a roughly two-to-one advantage over Republicans in voter registration,
    Donald Trump lost by more than 20 percentage points in the 2024 presidential election and no Republican has won statewide office since Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2006 re-election.

  7. One day after California’s Democratic party urged candidates without a “viable path” in the state’s crucial race for governor to drop out,
    the crowded field showed no sign of winnowing down.

    At least nine Democrats are in the running to replace the outgoing governor, Gavin Newsom,
    with no clear frontrunner,
    💥which has fueled fears that the number of candidates could lead to two Republicans advancing to the November election.

    Rusty Hicks, the chair of California’s Democratic party, warned in an open letter on Tuesday about that “unlikely” but “possible” scenario and called on candidates to
    “act in a responsible manner with the opportunities and support we have earned”.

    He advised candidates not to run in the primary if they don’t have a path to reach the general election,
    and said they should be prepared to suspend their campaigns within the next month if they hadn’t made “meaningful progress” toward a primary win.

    The packed field of Democratic candidates includes
    former secretary of health and human services and state attorney general Xavier #Becerra;
    former state lawmaker Ian Calderon; San Jose’s mayor, Matt #Mahan;
    former congresswoman Katie #Porter;
    billionaire environmental activist Tom #Steyer;
    the Congress member Eric #Swalwell;
    the state schools superintendent, Tony #Thurmond;
    former mayor of Los Angeles Antonio #Villaraigosa;
    and former state controller Betty #Yee.

    The Republican candidates include
    Chad #Bianco, the Riverside county sheriff,
    and the conservative political commentator Steve #Hilton.

    The nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found the race had split into two distinct groups,
    with polling indicating Hilton, Porter, Bianco, Swalwell and Steyer are in close competition,
    while the other candidates trail behind

  9. The burgeoning field to be California’s next governor grew even more crowded Friday as #Toni #Atkins, the San Diego Democrat who has held the state’s top legislative posts, launched a bid to succeed Gov #Gavin. #Newsom in 2026.

    Atkins — who has made history several times over as the first out #lesbian to be Assembly Speaker, as well as the first woman and LGBTQ+ person to lead the Senate — is betting that her long resume in elected office coupled with her boundary-breaking profile is the winning formula to distinguish her from the pack

  11. Rep. Barbara Lee files bid for the open Senate seat in California.

    If elected, #Lee would be just the third Black woman to serve in the US Senate, with none serving at present.

    There is a crowded field seeking to succeed Diane Feinstein who announced her retirement yesterday.

    Katie #Porter was first elected to her Southern California seat in the 2018 midterms and has earned prominence and praise from progressives for her focused questioning of witnesses in House oversight hearings. She’s also been endorsed by her former law school professor, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

    Adam #Schiff, a Los Angeles-area congressman, was first elected in 2000 and gained national attention during the Trump administration, serving in high-profile roles on the House Intelligence Committee and in both Trump impeachment proceedings.

    Additional contenders could join the open Senate race in the nation’s largest state. Democratic Rep. Ro #Khanna has publicly expressed interest in running.

    Other potential candidates include Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier #Becerra – a former California attorney general – and San Francisco Mayor London #Breed.
