Becerra, Steyer Tie For Democratic Lead In Governor's Race Following Endorsements
"I think people confuse the fact that if you have progressive values that you can't be pragmatic and deliver, but they're actually one in the same, and if you can really intertwine those, that's impact."
"If we're actually going to get done the things in California that have to get done, having her expertise and her wisdom to make sure that we're doing it in a practical way so it can actually happen is something that, honestly, is irreplaceable."
"We have a strong Democratic field for governor, but right now, we need someone ready on day one. Xavier Becerra is that leader."
Xavier Becerra's popularity increased following endorsements from 15 state assembly members, tying him with Tom Steyer for the Democratic lead in the governor's race. Former state Controller Betty Yee endorsed Steyer after exiting the race, praising his environmental commitment. Steyer expressed a desire to collaborate with Yee, emphasizing the importance of her expertise. Democratic leaders are pressuring lower-polling candidates to withdraw before the primary due to strong Republican polling. Becerra's endorsement by Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas highlighted his extensive leadership experience, positioning him as a strong candidate ready to lead from day one.
