The California Democratic Party Convention kicks off today at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, where the many candidates running in races from governor and U.S. Congress to the California Assembly are hoping to win the party’s coveted endorsement. Tensions within the party are surfacing over whether to label Israel’s attacks on Gaza as genocide and over a proposed one-time tax on the state’s billionaires.

Scott and Guy are at the convention center to examine what this weekend might signal about Democrats’ strategy heading into the November midterms.
