""There was a lot of speculation that Swalwell's support originally would flow to the other frontrunners in the race: Tom Steyer and Katie Porter, but Steyer and Porter, for very different reasons, are flawed candidates.""
""We're seeing increased attendance at [Becerra's] events, increased social media traffic. Some bumps in the polling, and most notably, a number of endorsements from California state legislators.""
""This race will come down to those who have earned it versus those who are trying to buy it," Becerra said."
""I'm supporting a Democrat in the runoff, and I look forward to the voters making that decision very shortly," Newsom said."
Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign for California governor, leading to speculation about where his supporters would go. Political analyst Dan Schnur noted that while Tom Steyer and Katie Porter were expected to attract Swalwell's base, they are seen as flawed candidates. Instead, support appears to be consolidating around Xavier Becerra, who has gained endorsements and increased visibility. Recent polling shows Becerra, along with Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, and Democrat Katie Porter, in the top tier. The race remains competitive with six weeks until the primary.
