"Becerra, whose polling numbers had languished for months, has jumped into the top tier of Democratic candidates since Swalwell's campaign imploded amid accusations of sexual assault."
"Four polls in the last week have shown Mr. Becerra as receiving at least 10 percent support, at least twice what he previously had, putting him in contention in a sprawling field of candidates."
"Becerra hired a new social media strategist last week, Tonya Lamont, Mr. Newsom's former digital communications director, and his online presence has since boomed."
Eric Swalwell's sudden withdrawal from the California gubernatorial race has created an opportunity for Xavier Becerra. Previously polling in the low single digits, Becerra is now gaining support, with recent polls showing him reaching double digits. His campaign faced challenges, including a scandal involving embezzlement by campaign operatives. However, the political landscape has shifted, and Becerra's hiring of a new social media strategist has enhanced his online presence, contributing to his resurgence in the race.
