Can Newsom Help With Dems' Mess in CA Governor Race?
Source: RealClearPolitics - Homepage · Bias: Center Right
Summary
While governor of California is one of the biggest jobs in America, for months the 2026 election has looked like a real snoozer. Now it's suddenly turned into a huge mess for Democrats. This week, Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race and resigned from his U.S. House seat following credible rape and sexual-misconduct allegations. Since Swalwell was the leading Democrat in the race, his exit has revived fears that the November general election will feature two Republicans competing for the governorship of this very blue state.
