Betty Yee, who has consistently polled in the single digits and well behind several other candidates, announced Monday that she is ending her campaign.

Former L.A. mayor and current candidate for governor Antonio Villaraigosa wants voters to know that he navigated billion-dollar budgets, cracked down on violent crime and championed the expansion of bus and rail lines. The onetime state Assembly speaker argues he's the only Democratic candidate with the experience to do the complicated job of running California.

"From the moment Katie set foot in my consumer law class, I knew that she would be a warrior for working families," Warren said in a statement, citing Porter's work on the foreclosure crisis as well as her questioning of corporate leaders and members of the Trump administration while wielding a white board in hearings when she represented an Orange County district in Congress.

A sleepy race to succeed Gavin Newsom as California Governor just got a little bit of a jolt, as Senator Adam Schiff publicly put his chips on East Bay House Representative Eric Swalwell. California Governor Gavin Newsom is termed out of office once the November 2026 election rolls around, though interestingly, no one is really paying much attention yet to the race to replace Newsom.

Two of the top Democratic candidates in the race for California governor are taking heat for their past votes to fund and support federal immigration enforcement as the backlash against the Trump administration's actions in Minnesota intensifies after the shooting death of Alex Pretti.

With less than five months until California 's primary election for governor, no candidate has emerged as the consensus choice of the most powerful force in state Democratic politics: organized labor. Attorney General Rob Bonta, a longtime labor ally, announced last week he would not run for governor, despite behind-the-scenes encouragement from many in the state's labor movement. His decision increased the likelihood that no single candidate will be able to consolidate labor support, even as a handful of unions have already made early endorsements.
