Gavin Newsom, who is widely thought to have his own presidential ambitions, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/gavinnewsom/status/1815168477562646858?s=46\">endorsed Harris on social media\u003c/a> late Sunday afternoon. “With our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump’s dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than America’s Vice President, KamalaHarris,” Newsom wrote on X, referring to the vice president as “Tough. Fearless. Tenacious.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In interviews and statements, members of the party’s congressional delegation and local activists applauded Biden’s decision and paid tribute to his time in office. While Biden’s decision comes after an escalating pressure campaign by party leaders to persuade him to drop his reelection bid, Biden allies such as Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) framed the president’s decision to exit the race as an act of selflessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today is a day of history — he’s the one that made it,” Eshoo said. “His patriotism, his unmatched patriotism, is the top line of today and for history as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eshoo said Harris was now “poised” to move ahead as the party’s nominee. Biden endorsed Harris on Sunday, shortly after he announced he would not seek a second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after, Rep. Mike Levin (D-Oceanside), who is fighting to keep his swing seat in a district that straddles southern Orange County and northern San Diego County, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/MikeLevin/status/1815093216208883859\">threw his support behind the vice president\u003c/a> as well. Levin had called for Biden to step down and said Harris is “the right person to lead our nation forward and defeat Donald Trump and his extremist policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Biden’s decision is incredibly patriotic and the right thing to do. He put country first. Now, we must come together to prevail against the incalculable threat Donald Trump poses to the American institutions of freedom and democracy,” he wrote on X. “I’m proud to follow President Biden’s lead in endorsing Kamala Harris to be our Democratic Presidential nominee … It is time to move forward with Kamala Harris as our new leader. Together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Sen. Laphonza Butler also threw her support behind Harris, who previously served in the U.S. Senate and as California attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thanks to (Biden’s) leadership, the American people have witnessed historic investments in education, infrastructure, and much more. The threat to all that progress remains, and we must now do everything we can to ensure Vice President Harris succeeds. There’s no one better prepared for this challenge,” she said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) said Harris would be the best choice for the nomination, given her experience in the White House over the last three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s been part of the Biden-Harris team, which has delivered for the American people, and I believe the party needs to unify around Vice President Harris,” Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed joined the chorus of support for Harris.

Gavin Newsom, who is widely thought to have his own presidential ambitions, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/gavinnewsom/status/1815168477562646858?s=46\">endorsed Harris on social media\u003c/a> late Sunday afternoon. “With our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump’s dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than America’s Vice President, KamalaHarris,” Newsom wrote on X, referring to the vice president as “Tough. Fearless. Tenacious.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In interviews and statements, members of the party’s congressional delegation and local activists applauded Biden’s decision and paid tribute to his time in office. While Biden’s decision comes after an escalating pressure campaign by party leaders to persuade him to drop his reelection bid, Biden allies such as Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) framed the president’s decision to exit the race as an act of selflessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today is a day of history — he’s the one that made it,” Eshoo said. “His patriotism, his unmatched patriotism, is the top line of today and for history as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Biden endorsed Harris on Sunday, shortly after he announced he would not seek a second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after, Rep. Mike Levin (D-Oceanside), who is fighting to keep his swing seat in a district that straddles southern Orange County and northern San Diego County, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/MikeLevin/status/1815093216208883859\">threw his support behind the vice president\u003c/a> as well.

He put country first. Now, we must come together to prevail against the incalculable threat Donald Trump poses to the American institutions of freedom and democracy,” he wrote on X. “I’m proud to follow President Biden’s lead in endorsing Kamala Harris to be our Democratic Presidential nominee … It is time to move forward with Kamala Harris as our new leader. Together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Sen. Laphonza Butler also threw her support behind Harris, who previously served in the U.S. Senate and as California attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thanks to (Biden’s) leadership, the American people have witnessed historic investments in education, infrastructure, and much more. The threat to all that progress remains, and we must now do everything we can to ensure Vice President Harris succeeds. There’s no one better prepared for this challenge,” she said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) said Harris would be the best choice for the nomination, given her experience in the White House over the last three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s been part of the Biden-Harris team, which has delivered for the American people, and I believe the party needs to unify around Vice President Harris,” Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed joined the chorus of support for Harris. Speaking to reporters near San Francisco’s waterfront, Breed said civil rights for LGBTQ people, women and people of color are at stake as the November election draws near.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot mess around with this opportunity, there is so much at stake,” she said. “All I can think is I wish I could travel to battleground states and just go across the country and help elect Kamala Harris and whoever the vice presidential nominee will be so that we can continue to move our country and especially our city here locally in the right direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said Biden made the “right decision” to step down and endorse Harris.

The aftermath led Democrats to reform the nominating process to give more power to primary voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s decision thrusts Harris, 59, into what’s likely to be a bruising campaign against former President Trump less than three months before the Nov. 5 election and with just weeks until the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where the party will officially nominate its candidate. Trump’s team has reportedly been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/20/us/politics/trump-harris-strategy.html\">preparing for this possibility\u003c/a> and has conducted opposition research and polls on the vice president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, who was born in Oakland and spent her early years in Berkeley, would be just the second woman and the first person of Asian descent to be nominated for president by a major political party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996654\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996654\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344141.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344141.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344141-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344141-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344141-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Visitors stop along Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in Washington, D.C., on July 21, 2024. \u003ccite>(Samuel Corum/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The daughter of a Jamaican American father and Indian American mother, Harris began her political career as the elected district attorney of San Francisco and served as California’s attorney general and U.S. senator before running for president herself in the 2020 cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She dropped out of the presidential race in late 2019, several months before primary voting and caucusing began, and was named Biden’s running mate in August 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris made a national name in the Senate during Trump’s first term as a sharp and exacting questioner who brought her prosecutorial skills to committee investigations and confirmation hearings. Perhaps most famously, she \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/09/06/kamala-harris-kavanaugh-hearing-abortion-rights-sot-vpx.cnn\">unnerved now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh\u003c/a> during his 2018 confirmation, including with pointed questions about abortion rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California’s attorney general, she made national headlines for over a decade for refusing to accept a settlement with banks over their predatory lending practices, which helped drive the 2010 financial crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration was eager for states, including California, to accept the multibillion-dollar settlement, but Harris held out — despite her close ties to President Barack Obama, whom she backed when most of the Democratic establishment was still behind Hillary Clinton. She walked away from a $2 billion deal for California, ultimately securing a settlement that was 10 times higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996655\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996655\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344355.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344355.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344355-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344355-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162344355-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signs are pictured outside the U.S. Naval Observatory, where U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris lives, in Washington, D.C., on July 21, 2024. \u003ccite>(Daniel SlimAFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But for those high-profile wins, Harris has her critics — on the left and right. One of her first major decisions after being elected district attorney two decades ago was not filing capital murder charges against a man accused of gunning down a young San Francisco police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris had run on an anti-death penalty platform, but her swift decision not to file charges angered police and the murdered officer’s family, leading to a rebuke from Sen.

While high-profile challengers, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, could certainly throw their hats into the ring, there are political risks to both scenarios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Democrats have argued that bypassing Harris or making her compete for the nomination would turn off Black voters and other supporters, and could result in a chaotic and disorganized convention process that would play out on TV and potentially weaken Democrats in the eyes of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others, including, \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/19/pelosi-support-open-nomination-biden-drop-out-00169893#:~:text=In%20a%20meeting%20with%20fellow,of%20a%20Kamala%20Harris%20coronation.\">reportedly, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,\u003c/a> believe that Harris would be a stronger candidate if she wins the nomination publicly — allowing her to make her case to the American people and avoiding any perception that the party elites are handpicking a nominee. Some Democrats also believe that an open race between now and the August convention would give the party an opportunity to dominate airwaves, capture the nation’s attention and reshuffle the dynamics in a presidential race that has turned many voters off until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, for her part, said in a statement after Biden announced his decision that she intends “to earn and win this nomination” and will continue to campaign “across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic Party changed its nominating process after the 1968 convention, which was marked by violent crackdowns by police on anti-Vietnam War protestors and conflict among delegates — disagreement that played out on TV. Republican Richard Nixon won that fall, defeating Democratic Vice President Hubert Humphrey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in 1972, Democratic state caucuses and primaries became more important in the nominating process, making it less likely that floor fights like the one in 1968 would play out at the nominating convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But party delegates — a mix of party activists and insiders — still have a role in making the nomination official. Here’s what to know about the current rules governing a Democratic National Convention and its \u003ca href=\"https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-Call-for-Convention.pdf\">nominating process (PDF).\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Because Biden won the state primaries, the vast majority of the 4,700 Democratic delegates that will vote on the nomination are “pledged” to him\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden didn’t face a serious Democratic challenger this year, and — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/08/nx-s1-5032737/biden-tells-democrats-stop-speculation\">as he pointed out in a recent letter to members of Congress\u003c/a> — received “over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means under party rules, those nearly 3,900 \u003ca href=\"https://www.usa.gov/primaries-caucuses\">delegates\u003c/a> are pledged to Biden and under DNC rules “shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While primary voters choose the nominee, it’s still not official until the delegates vote\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.usa.gov/national-conventions\">Presidential nominations are made official by a roll call vote of delegates. \u003c/a>The pledged delegates are the only ones allowed to vote on the first roll call; if no one gets a majority of votes, the nominating contest will move to a second ballot, and the other 800 or so delegates can also vote. Balloting continues until a nominee is finally selected by a majority of delegates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even with Biden supporting Harris, other Democrats can also be nominated at the convention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to be considered for the nomination, a candidate needs to gather at least 300 signatures from delegates from six states. Then, each candidate would be allowed 20 minutes of nominating speeches before delegates begin voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems likely that Democrats would coalesce behind the vice president if Biden indicates that’s his preference — but nothing would necessarily stop another candidate from trying to whip enough delegates to also vie for the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The process could potentially play out before the August convention. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DNC had planned to nominate Biden before the DNC begins on August 19, because state law in Ohio previously required that political parties name their official nominee 90 days before the general election — which this year fell on August 7, almost two weeks before the Democratic convention. So before Biden’s disastrous debate performance and calls for him to drop out began mounting, the DNC decided they would do the official nomination by virtual roll call in early August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t appear to be necessary any more — Republicans in Ohio\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-ohio-ballot-48601b3522a42e2680fe40b416d0421d\"> recently passed a bill, which was signed by Governor Mike DeWine\u003c/a>, that relaxed the deadline. But Democratic Party leaders had still been moving forward with the earlier nomination vote, arguing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/19/dnc-officials-defend-virtual-roll-call-vote-00169803\">outstanding lawsuits over the legislation\u003c/a> make the earlier vote necessary. Before today’s Biden announcement, the DNC had scheduled the vote to start as early as August 1, more than two weeks before the convention begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s possible that they could do the same in an open nominating process: Ask delegates to vote ahead of the convention, then unveil a winner in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who are the delegates — and can Democratic leaders influence who they vote for in an open convention?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most delegates are party activists, elected by their peers. There are \u003ca href=\"https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-Delegate-Selection-Rules.pdf\">also 700 “superdelegates” (PDF)\u003c/a> — members of the House and Senate, Democratic governors, DNC members and all former Democratic presidents, vice presidents, congressional leaders and DNC chairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since “regular” delegates far out number superdelegates, they would be the ones picking a nominee if Biden steps aside. And once an open convention begins, party leaders (including Biden) have no official power to dictate who they vote for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means even if the president asks the party to nominate Harris, things could get chaotic at the convention in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Some Democrats also believe that an open race between now and the August convention would give the party an opportunity to dominate airwaves, capture the nation’s attention and reshuffle the dynamics in a presidential race that has turned many voters off until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, for her part, said in a statement after Biden announced his decision that she intends “to earn and win this nomination” and will continue to campaign “across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic Party changed its nominating process after the 1968 convention, which was marked by violent crackdowns by police on anti-Vietnam War protestors and conflict among delegates — disagreement that played out on TV. Republican Richard Nixon won that fall, defeating Democratic Vice President Hubert Humphrey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in 1972, Democratic state caucuses and primaries became more important in the nominating process, making it less likely that floor fights like the one in 1968 would play out at the nominating convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But party delegates — a mix of party activists and insiders — still have a role in making the nomination official. Here’s what to know about the current rules governing a Democratic National Convention and its \u003ca href=\"https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-Call-for-Convention.pdf\">nominating process (PDF).\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Because Biden won the state primaries, the vast majority of the 4,700 Democratic delegates that will vote on the nomination are “pledged” to him\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden didn’t face a serious Democratic challenger this year, and — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/08/nx-s1-5032737/biden-tells-democrats-stop-speculation\">as he pointed out in a recent letter to members of Congress\u003c/a> — received “over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means under party rules, those nearly 3,900 \u003ca href=\"https://www.usa.gov/primaries-caucuses\">delegates\u003c/a> are pledged to Biden and under DNC rules “shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While primary voters choose the nominee, it’s still not official until the delegates vote\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.usa.gov/national-conventions\">Presidential nominations are made official by a roll call vote of delegates. \u003c/a>The pledged delegates are the only ones allowed to vote on the first roll call; if no one gets a majority of votes, the nominating contest will move to a second ballot, and the other 800 or so delegates can also vote. Balloting continues until a nominee is finally selected by a majority of delegates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even with Biden supporting Harris, other Democrats can also be nominated at the convention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to be considered for the nomination, a candidate needs to gather at least 300 signatures from delegates from six states. Then, each candidate would be allowed 20 minutes of nominating speeches before delegates begin voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems likely that Democrats would coalesce behind the vice president if Biden indicates that’s his preference — but nothing would necessarily stop another candidate from trying to whip enough delegates to also vie for the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The process could potentially play out before the August convention. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DNC had planned to nominate Biden before the DNC begins on August 19, because state law in Ohio previously required that political parties name their official nominee 90 days before the general election — which this year fell on August 7, almost two weeks before the Democratic convention. So before Biden’s disastrous debate performance and calls for him to drop out began mounting, the DNC decided they would do the official nomination by virtual roll call in early August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t appear to be necessary any more — Republicans in Ohio\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-ohio-ballot-48601b3522a42e2680fe40b416d0421d\"> recently passed a bill, which was signed by Governor Mike DeWine\u003c/a>, that relaxed the deadline. But Democratic Party leaders had still been moving forward with the earlier nomination vote, arguing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/19/dnc-officials-defend-virtual-roll-call-vote-00169803\">outstanding lawsuits over the legislation\u003c/a> make the earlier vote necessary. Before today’s Biden announcement, the DNC had scheduled the vote to start as early as August 1, more than two weeks before the convention begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s possible that they could do the same in an open nominating process: Ask delegates to vote ahead of the convention, then unveil a winner in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who are the delegates — and can Democratic leaders influence who they vote for in an open convention?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most delegates are party activists, elected by their peers. There are \u003ca href=\"https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-Delegate-Selection-Rules.pdf\">also 700 “superdelegates” (PDF)\u003c/a> — members of the House and Senate, Democratic governors, DNC members and all former Democratic presidents, vice presidents, congressional leaders and DNC chairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since “regular” delegates far out number superdelegates, they would be the ones picking a nominee if Biden steps aside. And once an open convention begins, party leaders (including Biden) have no official power to dictate who they vote for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means even if the president asks the party to nominate Harris, things could get chaotic at the convention in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

As a growing number of elected officials call for Biden to forgo his party’s nomination for a second term, Newsom has tied himself more closely to the president than almost any Democrat in the country who’s not already on the ticket — including other ascendant younger politicians who could \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/07/gavin-newsom-for-president-assets-liabilities/\">potentially be his rivals in a future presidential race\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political strategists told CalMatters this is a prudent posture for Newsom, who does not have the clout to influence Biden’s decision about whether to leave the race but stands to benefit from being seen as a team player, even if Biden drops out or loses in November. In addition to shrewdly raising his own profile through aggressive advocacy for the president, Newsom’s loyalty could win him favor with party insiders positioned to boost his candidacy if he eventually runs for the Democratic nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Newsom wants to be seen as a loyal soldier. He doesn’t have any other cards to play,” said Matt Rodriguez, a Democratic consultant who worked on presidential campaigns for Barack Obama, Dick Gephardt and Bill Bradley. “He’s doing the thing he needs to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for Newsom, who has publicly and repeatedly denied any interest in the presidency, said there is no strategy involved in his strong support for the Biden campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Governor Newsom’s advocacy for the President and his administration reflects a recognition of all that President Biden has accomplished, Governor Newsom’s loyalty to the President and the Vice President, and a clear view of the real danger a second Trump administration would have for California and democracy in America,” Nathan Click said in a text message.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-playing-the-long-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playing the ‘long game’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When chatter about whether to dump Biden as the nominee exploded last month following his catastrophic performance in the televised debate against Trump, Newsom was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/article/joe-biden-democrats-nomination-gavin-newsom-whitmer.html\">among the top tier of potential replacements\u003c/a> floated by pundits. The discourse has been dominated by politicians already viewed as strong potential contenders in the 2028 Democratic primary: Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Democratic Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Andy Beshear of Kentucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All have stood behind Biden as uncertainty grows over his political future, but the extent to which they’ve defended the president has ranged widely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the vice president, none have been a more visible cheerleader than Newsom, who immediately appeared on television to swat down concerns about the debate, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/03/us/politics/biden-meeting-democrat-governors.html\">rushed to the White House\u003c/a> for a damage-control meeting with Democratic governors that some attended remotely, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2024/07/10/biden-campaign-staff-morale-election-2024\">delivered a pep talk to Biden campaign staff on a conference call\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996416\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1568px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996416\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/070824-Newsom-Biden-Campaign-REUTERS-CM-01-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1568\" height=\"1045\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/070824-Newsom-Biden-Campaign-REUTERS-CM-01-copy.jpg 1568w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/070824-Newsom-Biden-Campaign-REUTERS-CM-01-copy-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/070824-Newsom-Biden-Campaign-REUTERS-CM-01-copy-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/070824-Newsom-Biden-Campaign-REUTERS-CM-01-copy-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/070824-Newsom-Biden-Campaign-REUTERS-CM-01-copy-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

Whitmer, who is a co-chairperson of his reelection campaign, told CNN last week that \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/10/politics/gretchen-whitmer-biden-cognitive-test-cnntv/index.html\">“it wouldn’t hurt” for Biden to take a cognitive test\u003c/a> and later \u003ca href=\"https://www.crainsdetroit.com/politics-policy/gretchen-whitmer-miss-joe-biden-campaign-stop\">skipped a rally he held in Detroit\u003c/a>. Beshear, currently \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/kentucky-governor-asian-trip-d5e838e490f3009b6b6bff72ef7cbebd\">on a business trip in Asia\u003c/a>, has reiterated that Biden should take more steps to reassure Americans about his health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those officials may have different considerations because of the more conservative politics of their home states. But strategists agreed that Newsom, as governor of the biggest Democratic state in the country, is on a path that holds far more rewards than risks for his career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given his relatively short record as a national political figure — and his history as an \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/05/politics/campaign/some-democrats-blame-one-of-their-own.html\">upstart rattling the establishment\u003c/a> on issues such as gay marriage — Newsom has more to prove to Democrats, said Catherine Lew, a political consultant who worked on Bill\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Clinton’s first presidential campaign in 1992. Stumping for Biden should help Newsom get in the good graces of a party establishment that still deeply values loyalty, building relationships that could pay off down the road with endorsements, fundraising and staffing up a campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor obviously has the long game in mind,” Lew said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hilary McLean, who worked on California communications for Michael Bloomberg’s 2020 presidential campaign and Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelection, said becoming a leading surrogate for Biden has signaled to the public that Newsom is “an important person for Democrats in the United States of America” going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What people will remember is he was super eloquent; he was a feisty advocate for Democratic ideas,” she said. “They’ll remember how well he did. They’re not going to hold it against him for supporting the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-newsom-is-not-going-out-on-a-limb\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newsom is not ‘going out on a limb’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The growing defections in Democratic support for Biden, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/biden-drop-out-california-democrats/\">including California’s Rep. Adam Schiff\u003c/a> on Wednesday, and the lack of clarity, only a month before the party convention starts on Aug. 19, about whether he will remain the nominee is an unprecedented situation that has paralyzed many officials with indecision, Rodriguez said. He applauded Newsom for not overthinking his response and for sticking by Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the Democratic Party wants Biden off the presidential ticket, it will take others with more sway to push him out, Rodriguez said. Newsom calling for it would just make him appear “weak and feckless,” he said, especially if Biden sees the campaign through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s always a risk, even if you’re right, to be the whistleblower,” Rodriguez said. “Why are you going out on a limb if you don’t have leverage?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By instead remaining a vocal defender of the president through his bleakest moment, Newsom could look like a hero in the event that Biden wins a second term, though that appears increasingly unlikely. And in the meantime, the campaign may continue to elevate Newsom, such as with a prime speaking slot at next month’s Democratic National Convention — which Rodriguez noted was the launching pad for Obama’s presidential aspirations in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Politics, especially at the national level, is really about timing,” Rodriguez said. “You do the best you can with what’s in front of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strategists brushed off the idea that a bruising loss for Biden could hurt his top surrogates by association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of this is palace court stuff,” Lew said. “Voters’ memories are short, particularly when there are other pressing, day-to-day, quality-of-life issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodriguez said that if Trump wins another term in November, no one in the country is better positioned to lead the fight against him than Newsom, who has two years left as governor. That’s likely to be far more relevant in the 2028 primaries than what candidates said about Biden years prior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s such a lifetime away,” Rodriguez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

As a growing number of elected officials call for Biden to forgo his party’s nomination for a second term, Newsom has tied himself more closely to the president than almost any Democrat in the country who’s not already on the ticket — including other ascendant younger politicians who could \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/07/gavin-newsom-for-president-assets-liabilities/\">potentially be his rivals in a future presidential race\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Whitmer, who is a co-chairperson of his reelection campaign, told CNN last week that \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/10/politics/gretchen-whitmer-biden-cognitive-test-cnntv/index.html\">“it wouldn’t hurt” for Biden to take a cognitive test\u003c/a> and later \u003ca href=\"https://www.crainsdetroit.com/politics-policy/gretchen-whitmer-miss-joe-biden-campaign-stop\">skipped a rally he held in Detroit\u003c/a>. Beshear, currently \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/kentucky-governor-asian-trip-d5e838e490f3009b6b6bff72ef7cbebd\">on a business trip in Asia\u003c/a>, has reiterated that Biden should take more steps to reassure Americans about his health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those officials may have different considerations because of the more conservative politics of their home states. But strategists agreed that Newsom, as governor of the biggest Democratic state in the country, is on a path that holds far more rewards than risks for his career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given his relatively short record as a national political figure — and his history as an \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/05/politics/campaign/some-democrats-blame-one-of-their-own.html\">upstart rattling the establishment\u003c/a> on issues such as gay marriage — Newsom has more to prove to Democrats, said Catherine Lew, a political consultant who worked on Bill\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Clinton’s first presidential campaign in 1992. Stumping for Biden should help Newsom get in the good graces of a party establishment that still deeply values loyalty, building relationships that could pay off down the road with endorsements, fundraising and staffing up a campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor obviously has the long game in mind,” Lew said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hilary McLean, who worked on California communications for Michael Bloomberg’s 2020 presidential campaign and Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelection, said becoming a leading surrogate for Biden has signaled to the public that Newsom is “an important person for Democrats in the United States of America” going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What people will remember is he was super eloquent; he was a feisty advocate for Democratic ideas,” she said. “They’ll remember how well he did. They’re not going to hold it against him for supporting the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-newsom-is-not-going-out-on-a-limb\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newsom is not ‘going out on a limb’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The growing defections in Democratic support for Biden, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/biden-drop-out-california-democrats/\">including California’s Rep. Adam Schiff\u003c/a> on Wednesday, and the lack of clarity, only a month before the party convention starts on Aug. 19, about whether he will remain the nominee is an unprecedented situation that has paralyzed many officials with indecision, Rodriguez said. He applauded Newsom for not overthinking his response and for sticking by Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the Democratic Party wants Biden off the presidential ticket, it will take others with more sway to push him out, Rodriguez said. Newsom calling for it would just make him appear “weak and feckless,” he said, especially if Biden sees the campaign through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s always a risk, even if you’re right, to be the whistleblower,” Rodriguez said. “Why are you going out on a limb if you don’t have leverage?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By instead remaining a vocal defender of the president through his bleakest moment, Newsom could look like a hero in the event that Biden wins a second term, though that appears increasingly unlikely. And in the meantime, the campaign may continue to elevate Newsom, such as with a prime speaking slot at next month’s Democratic National Convention — which Rodriguez noted was the launching pad for Obama’s presidential aspirations in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Politics, especially at the national level, is really about timing,” Rodriguez said. “You do the best you can with what’s in front of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strategists brushed off the idea that a bruising loss for Biden could hurt his top surrogates by association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of this is palace court stuff,” Lew said. “Voters’ memories are short, particularly when there are other pressing, day-to-day, quality-of-life issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodriguez said that if Trump wins another term in November, no one in the country is better positioned to lead the fight against him than Newsom, who has two years left as governor. That’s likely to be far more relevant in the 2028 primaries than what candidates said about Biden years prior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s such a lifetime away,” Rodriguez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Five of them are Republican-held districts that President Biden won in 2020. While California conservatives acknowledge that local candidates and district-specific factors will affect the November results, party activists are heading home from Wisconsin bursting with confidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California Republicans will be the reason a newly elected President Trump has a GOP House majority to help implement his agenda that will make California and America great again,” Patterson added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With optimism high among party leaders, the focus shifts to key battlegrounds, where tight races could determine the GOP’s success. Among the closest watched seats are a pair of elections in the Central Valley, where GOP incumbents John Duarte and David Valadao will face challenges from the Democrats they defeated in 2022: former state Assemblymembers Adam Gray and Rudy Salas. Republicans are also looking to hold onto the seats held by Rep. Mike Garcia north of Los Angeles and Rep. Ken Calvert in the Inland Empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Orange County, seats currently occupied by Democratic Rep. Mike Levin and Rep. Katie Porter (who left her seat open after a failed Senate run) and Republican Rep. Michelle Steel and Rep. Young Kim are all in play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some Republican congressional candidates, the convention in Milwaukee offered an opportunity to network with delegates, national donors and scores of cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an opportunity to put themselves in front of national media, whether it’s traditional mainstream media and get some airtime there or whether it’s more conservative media that will help with fundraising and building their base across the country,” Republican strategist Tim Rosales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Calvert shook hands with GOP delegates at a party luncheon at the Harley-Davidson Museum, before heading to the Discovery World science museum to speak to the Log Cabin Republicans, a group of LGBT party members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Gunderson, a businessman running against Levin in a coastal district spanning San Diego County to Orange County, hopped between interviews along media row at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. He said family ties sealed his decision to attend the RNC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and it’s likely if this convention was in another state, I wouldn’t have attended,” Gunderson said. “But, as a candidate for Congress, you know that money is the mother’s milk of politics. So I’m using this opportunity to reconnect with some old friends in Wisconsin and hopefully bring some Wisconsin money back to California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996399\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996399\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chairperson of the California Republican Party Jessica Millan Patterson speaks on the first day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 15, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Other candidates in competitive House seats, such as Duarte, Kim and Valadao, made a different calculation: that the week would be better spent back home in their districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being in Milwaukee, it’s fine; it’s great to be in the spirit of the party, but … we can’t honestly waste a day,” said Randall Avila, executive director of the Orange County Republican Party. “So, you know, coming out here and spending a week is not going to be helpful to the campaign when they need to be out there meeting with voters and earning that support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, a convention swelling with adoration for Trump is an uncomfortable setting for some of the GOP House hopefuls. The former president has remained deeply unpopular in overwhelmingly blue California, and candidates like Kim and Steel were able to win reelection in districts Biden won in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila explained that the strategy in those Orange County districts combines high Republican voter turnout, motivated by Trump, with vote-splitting — an increasingly rare occurrence — where voters choose a Democratic presidential candidate and a Republican congressional candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Trump] brings out a lot of voters, and those voters will absolutely vote down the ticket for Republican candidates,” Avila said. “For those independents and no party preference voters, it may be ticket splitting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What makes this cycle different, Republicans say, is the seemingly unsettled fate of the Democratic ticket. As the convention rolled along in Milwaukee, an increasing number of Democrats — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996044/california-democrat-adam-schiff-calls-on-biden-to-drop-out-of-presidential-race\">including Los Angeles Rep. Adam Schiff\u003c/a> — called on Biden to drop out of the race over concerns about his mental fitness and his ability to defeat Trump in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County GOP Chairwoman Elizabeth Kolstad said in the races in her backyard, which includes the 13th District seat held by Duarte, “crossover votes from Democrats don’t really exist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the most part, they will still vote for their candidate no matter how poor he is,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, Kolstad thinks these tight races in the Valley will be decided by “enthusiasm in the candidates,” suggesting that Democratic disillusionment with Biden could have repercussions for the party’s House candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats see California’s competitive House races playing out differently. Their candidates remain financially competitive with Republicans in the tightest districts — and have outraised GOP candidates in recent months. If Biden continues to lag behind Trump in polling, Democratic donors could prioritize their spending down-ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While Republicans unite around their far-right Project 2025 agenda and openly campaign on gutting the resources that California families rely on, we remain optimistic that our path to 218 runs through the Golden State,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson Dan Gottlieb said, referring to the seats needed for a House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Democrats are banking on the fact that California will not be contested political ground in the race for president. Many of the advertisements voters see in these districts will focus on the congressional races, not the top of the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Democrats have the right mix of candidates, messages, and resources to organize, mobilize, and communicate early and often with California families in the home stretch and retake the House majority,” Gottlieb added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Vince Fong, the newly elected congressman from Bakersfield, acknowledged that a lot could still happen between now and November. Changes to the Democratic ticket, campaigns on California ballot measures, and unexpected headlines could all impact House seats previously decided by the slimmest of margins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But speaking \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996144/from-sacramento-to-washington-gop-rep-vince-fong-on-following-kevin-mccarthy-to-the-house\">to KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a> at an RNC event, Fong joined in his delegation’s optimism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the momentum is in our favor,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Guy Marzorati is reporting from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Among the closest watched seats are a pair of elections in the Central Valley, where GOP incumbents John Duarte and David Valadao will face challenges from the Democrats they defeated in 2022: former state Assemblymembers Adam Gray and Rudy Salas. Republicans are also looking to hold onto the seats held by Rep. Mike Garcia north of Los Angeles and Rep. Ken Calvert in the Inland Empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Orange County, seats currently occupied by Democratic Rep. Mike Levin and Rep. Katie Porter (who left her seat open after a failed Senate run) and Republican Rep. Michelle Steel and Rep. Young Kim are all in play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some Republican congressional candidates, the convention in Milwaukee offered an opportunity to network with delegates, national donors and scores of cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an opportunity to put themselves in front of national media, whether it’s traditional mainstream media and get some airtime there or whether it’s more conservative media that will help with fundraising and building their base across the country,” Republican strategist Tim Rosales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Calvert shook hands with GOP delegates at a party luncheon at the Harley-Davidson Museum, before heading to the Discovery World science museum to speak to the Log Cabin Republicans, a group of LGBT party members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Gunderson, a businessman running against Levin in a coastal district spanning San Diego County to Orange County, hopped between interviews along media row at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. He said family ties sealed his decision to attend the RNC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and it’s likely if this convention was in another state, I wouldn’t have attended,” Gunderson said. “But, as a candidate for Congress, you know that money is the mother’s milk of politics. So I’m using this opportunity to reconnect with some old friends in Wisconsin and hopefully bring some Wisconsin money back to California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996399\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996399\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chairperson of the California Republican Party Jessica Millan Patterson speaks on the first day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 15, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Other candidates in competitive House seats, such as Duarte, Kim and Valadao, made a different calculation: that the week would be better spent back home in their districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being in Milwaukee, it’s fine; it’s great to be in the spirit of the party, but … we can’t honestly waste a day,” said Randall Avila, executive director of the Orange County Republican Party. “So, you know, coming out here and spending a week is not going to be helpful to the campaign when they need to be out there meeting with voters and earning that support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, a convention swelling with adoration for Trump is an uncomfortable setting for some of the GOP House hopefuls. The former president has remained deeply unpopular in overwhelmingly blue California, and candidates like Kim and Steel were able to win reelection in districts Biden won in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila explained that the strategy in those Orange County districts combines high Republican voter turnout, motivated by Trump, with vote-splitting — an increasingly rare occurrence — where voters choose a Democratic presidential candidate and a Republican congressional candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Trump] brings out a lot of voters, and those voters will absolutely vote down the ticket for Republican candidates,” Avila said. “For those independents and no party preference voters, it may be ticket splitting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What makes this cycle different, Republicans say, is the seemingly unsettled fate of the Democratic ticket. As the convention rolled along in Milwaukee, an increasing number of Democrats — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996044/california-democrat-adam-schiff-calls-on-biden-to-drop-out-of-presidential-race\">including Los Angeles Rep. Adam Schiff\u003c/a> — called on Biden to drop out of the race over concerns about his mental fitness and his ability to defeat Trump in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County GOP Chairwoman Elizabeth Kolstad said in the races in her backyard, which includes the 13th District seat held by Duarte, “crossover votes from Democrats don’t really exist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the most part, they will still vote for their candidate no matter how poor he is,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, Kolstad thinks these tight races in the Valley will be decided by “enthusiasm in the candidates,” suggesting that Democratic disillusionment with Biden could have repercussions for the party’s House candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats see California’s competitive House races playing out differently. Their candidates remain financially competitive with Republicans in the tightest districts — and have outraised GOP candidates in recent months. If Biden continues to lag behind Trump in polling, Democratic donors could prioritize their spending down-ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While Republicans unite around their far-right Project 2025 agenda and openly campaign on gutting the resources that California families rely on, we remain optimistic that our path to 218 runs through the Golden State,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson Dan Gottlieb said, referring to the seats needed for a House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Democrats are banking on the fact that California will not be contested political ground in the race for president. Many of the advertisements voters see in these districts will focus on the congressional races, not the top of the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Democrats have the right mix of candidates, messages, and resources to organize, mobilize, and communicate early and often with California families in the home stretch and retake the House majority,” Gottlieb added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Vince Fong, the newly elected congressman from Bakersfield, acknowledged that a lot could still happen between now and November. Changes to the Democratic ticket, campaigns on California ballot measures, and unexpected headlines could all impact House seats previously decided by the slimmest of margins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But speaking \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996144/from-sacramento-to-washington-gop-rep-vince-fong-on-following-kevin-mccarthy-to-the-house\">to KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a> at an RNC event, Fong joined in his delegation’s optimism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the momentum is in our favor,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Guy Marzorati is reporting from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
