None of the declared candidates have offered a clear and compelling vision for the state, Mahan, 43, said in a phone interview from Sacramento. California, he said, needs bold and independent leadership, particularly on homelessness.

Trump trying to charge people $100,000 for visas is only one of his administration's over-the-top new restrictions on visas, and state Attorney General Rob Bonta is leading a crusade to reverse the administration's proposed new student visa rules.

For many months, California Attorney General Rob Bonta laid low in the 2026 run for California governor. He did this by insisting he would run for re-election if Kamala Harris opted to make the run for governor, which was the general expectation for her until July 30, when she stunned the political world by opting out of the campaign. Bonta has no need for to lay low any longer, unless he sincerely doesn't want the job.
