His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Ed Royce announced that he would be retiring at the end of the year. Days later, Congressman Darrell Issa followed suit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11641219/california-rep-darrell-issa-to-retire-adding-to-record-gop-exodus-from-congress\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">leaving open\u003c/a> two vulnerable seats. A third congressman representing Orange County, Dana Rohrabacher, has been targeted by Democrats over his pro-Russian views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A national spotlight and heated local resistance against President Trump led a bevy of candidates to announce their entry into the congressional races. But this enthusiasm almost became the Democrats’ downfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a handful of serious GOP contenders jumped into the races to replace Royce and Issa, the possibility emerged that the glut of Democrats could split the vote and allow two Republicans to advance to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Tuesday’s results show that Democrats have likely avoided that outcome. Returns in the Rohrabacher’s 48th District portend a November showdown between the incumbent and either Democrat Harley Rouda or Hans Keirstead. Rouda declared victory early Wednesday morning, but fewer than 100 votes separated the two challengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Royce’s 39th District, Democrat Gil Cisneros finished ahead of five other Democrats and advanced to a general election matchup with former state Assemblywoman Young Kim, who led all candidates in early returns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young Kim is a new face on the scene and also was the chief staffer for [Royce],” said GOP consultant Sean Walsh. “She’s very, very familiar with the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further south, Republican Diane Harkey, a member of the Board of Equalization, led the field to replace Issa in the 49th District, followed by three Democrats: Mike Levin, Sara Jacobs and Doug Applegate. Here too, the possibility of a Democratic “lockout” appear to have been avoided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harkey’s emergence was a consolation prize for some in the GOP who feared the equally-crowded field of Republicans in that race would allow two Democrats to advance to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can hope that you’re going to get the Maserati for the Christmas present, but you’re happy that the BMW showed up in the driveway,” Walsh added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in the state, congressional results showed the uphill climb Democrats will have to make to knock off entrenched Republican incumbents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Central Valley, Democrats did little to inspire confidence in unseating incumbent Republicans Jeff Denham, David Valadao and Devin Nunes, who opened up wide leads over the Democratic challengers who they will face in the fall general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mark DiCamillo, director of the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll, said that those seats are still on the table for Democrats in the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the potential turnout in a general election, you could have seven or eight Republican-held seats in play,” he said. “That’s going to be the biggest story of the fall election.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Ed Royce announced that he would be retiring at the end of the year. Days later, Congressman Darrell Issa followed suit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11641219/california-rep-darrell-issa-to-retire-adding-to-record-gop-exodus-from-congress\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">leaving open\u003c/a> two vulnerable seats.

But this enthusiasm almost became the Democrats’ downfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a handful of serious GOP contenders jumped into the races to replace Royce and Issa, the possibility emerged that the glut of Democrats could split the vote and allow two Republicans to advance to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Tuesday’s results show that Democrats have likely avoided that outcome. Returns in the Rohrabacher’s 48th District portend a November showdown between the incumbent and either Democrat Harley Rouda or Hans Keirstead. Rouda declared victory early Wednesday morning, but fewer than 100 votes separated the two challengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Royce’s 39th District, Democrat Gil Cisneros finished ahead of five other Democrats and advanced to a general election matchup with former state Assemblywoman Young Kim, who led all candidates in early returns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young Kim is a new face on the scene and also was the chief staffer for [Royce],” said GOP consultant Sean Walsh. “She’s very, very familiar with the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further south, Republican Diane Harkey, a member of the Board of Equalization, led the field to replace Issa in the 49th District, followed by three Democrats: Mike Levin, Sara Jacobs and Doug Applegate. Here too, the possibility of a Democratic “lockout” appear to have been avoided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harkey’s emergence was a consolation prize for some in the GOP who feared the equally-crowded field of Republicans in that race would allow two Democrats to advance to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can hope that you’re going to get the Maserati for the Christmas present, but you’re happy that the BMW showed up in the driveway,” Walsh added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in the state, congressional results showed the uphill climb Democrats will have to make to knock off entrenched Republican incumbents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Central Valley, Democrats did little to inspire confidence in unseating incumbent Republicans Jeff Denham, David Valadao and Devin Nunes, who opened up wide leads over the Democratic challengers who they will face in the fall general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mark DiCamillo, director of the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll, said that those seats are still on the table for Democrats in the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the potential turnout in a general election, you could have seven or eight Republican-held seats in play,” he said. “That’s going to be the biggest story of the fall election.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Cox isn’t particularly well known and has been endorsed by President Trump, so that contest will be Newsom’s to lose in blue California. But if Villaraigosa edges out Cox, the state will have its first ever intraparty gubernatorial general election.. Many Democrats believe that will benefit the party as a whole—and help capture GOP-held congressional seats key to the Dems taking control of the House—by discouraging Republican turnout in November. Team Newsom begs to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/gavin-newsom-insists-his-campaign-tactic-wont-really-cost-democrats-the-house/\">differ\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who will be shutout in Orange County?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California’s top-two system can punish a party with too many candidates in one race. In Orange County, Democrats face exactly that problem, where a bevy of political newbies have crowded into some of the state’s most competitive races and risk splitting the left-of-center vote, leaving the first and second spots to Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The threat is most acute in the contests to replace Rep. Darrell Issa in Vista and Rep. Ed Royce in Fullerton (both are retiring) and in the seat held by Dana Rohrabacher in Huntington Beach. All three are former Republican bastions that have trended purple in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11672470/an-enthusiasm-glut-for-democrats\">An Enthusiasm Glut for Democrats\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11672470/an-enthusiasm-glut-for-democrats\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/homestretch_060418_final-1180x793.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Most political scientists say such shutout scenarios are rare in competitive districts, but Democrats don’t have much wiggle room. Nationally, they are hoping to flip at least 23 seats to take back control of the House. Democratic operatives have seen the possibility of a top-two shut-out coming for months, but aside from offering endorsements, buying advertisements, and good old-fashioned browbeating, there isn’t \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/democratic-dread-party-tries-to-keep-californias-odd-election-rules-from-denying-them-the-u-s-house/\">much\u003c/a> the party can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Does outside money matter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California elections are always expensive. But spending from independent expenditure groups, who can spend as much money as they like so long as they don’t directly coordinate with political campaigns, have played a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/high-rollers-a-closer-look-at-some-of-the-sources-underwriting-californias-costly-campaign-season/\">significant\u003c/a> role this year. Will it make a difference?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the race for governor, a handful of millionaires have bet big on Villaraigosa, spending over $20 million in support his campaign. The former mayor’s position on education policy seems to be a big draw. Villaraigosa is an avid charter school supporter and has advocated for changes to tenure rules for public school teachers. But for all that money, Villaraigosa trails Cox in most recent polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside cash is also pouring into races that carry more symbolic weight than real power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleni Kounalakis, the former ambassador to Hungary who has won some high profile endorsements in her campaign to become the next \u003ca href=\"https://elections.calmatters.org/2018/statewide-postings/lieutenant-governor/\">lieutenant governor\u003c/a>, has also benefited from some $5 million in independent spending from Angelo K. Tsakopoulos, a Sacramento developer who happens to be her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the race to become the next superintendent of public instruction, which administers public school policy but \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/candidates-for-california-schools-chief-vow-to-wield-more-influence-but-for-what/\">typically\u003c/a> doesn’t set it, over $7 million has been spent in support of Marshall Tuck, much of it from charter school advocates. Roughly $3 million has boosted the candidacy of his chief opponent, Assemblyman Tony Thurmond from Richmond, who is backed by the teachers union and other public employee unions.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Turnout: Will this time be different?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In non-presidential primary elections (like this one), the electorate tends to be older, richer, and whiter than the state as a whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite making up California’s largest single ethnic group, Latino voters are particularly underrepresented at the ballot box. In June of 2014, \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57b8c7ce15d5dbf599fb46ab/t/580e513603596ebc55b6ae99/1477333304483/CCEPFS8+-+FINAL+%285%29.pdf\">only\u003c/a> 13.3 percent of registered Latino voters cast a ballot, compared to 25 percent of voters statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year could be different. It’s the first state referendum on President Trump, whose immigration policies in particular have galvanized many Latino voters. And the election features high-profile Latino candidates running for almost every statewide office. The Villaraigosa campaign has spent much of this year touring around Los Angeles and the Central Valley, hoping to engage a population that has historically not turned out.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628908/how-latino-elites-are-paying-the-california-dream-forward\">How Latino Elites Are Paying the California Dream Forward\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628908/how-latino-elites-are-paying-the-california-dream-forward\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/DeLeon-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Other Latinos candidates seeking statewide office include state Sen. Kevin de León who is running for U.S. Senate, acting Attorney General, Xavier Becerra, state Sen. Ed Hernandez who is running for lieutenant governor, and Secretary of State Alex Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is this another Year of the Woman?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/12/us/politics/women-midterm-elections.html\">record\u003c/a> number of women are running for Congress this year, inspired in part by the Women’s Marches and the #MeToo movement. Nearly 60 are running in California, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://cawp.rutgers.edu/buzz-2018-potential-women-candidates-us-congress-and-statewide-elected-executive\">Center\u003c/a> for Women and Politics at Rutgers University. This election will be the first test of whether the surge in enthusiasm that has convinced so many women to run will also motivate voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the lieutenant governor’s race, Eleni Kounalakis, Lidya Ortega, or Gayle McLaughlin would be the first women to be elected to that position. Ditto for Delaine Eastin and Amanda Renteria if either were to overcome the long odds against them in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/half-states-governed-woman-not-california/\">male-dominated\u003c/a> field of candidates for governor. And in both of the state’s fiscal offices, two Democratic women—treasurer hopeful, Fiona Ma, and incumbent controller, Betty Ye—are the candidates to beat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in southeast Los Angeles will have an opportunity to weigh in more directly on #MeToo. Democrat Tony Mendoza, who resigned from the state Senate amid \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/14-harassment-investigations-underway-lawmakers-handle-accused/\">allegations\u003c/a> that he sexually harassed his staffers, is running for his old seat. In fact he’s running twice—both to serve as his own temporary replacement until November and to serve out the next full term. In an overlapping state Assembly district, Cristina Garcia, who has also been accused of sexual \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/investigation-finds-assemblywoman-cristina-garcia-violated-sexual-harassment-policy-but-only-with-vulgar-language/\">harassment\u003c/a>, is running for re-election too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How powerful is the Republican brand?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A California Republican hasn’t won statewide office since 2006. In that year, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger won his re-election bid and Steve Poizner became the state’s insurance commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Schwarzenegger \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-may-2018-schwarzenegger-won-t-vote-for-leading-1527889146-htmlstory.html\">said\u003c/a> he won’t be voting for either of the leading Republicans in the governor’s race, and Poizner is running again for his old seat—only this time, as a political independent. If Poizner makes it into the general election, that will put him in the running to become the first candidate to win statewide office as a “no party preference” candidate. It also may send a message to future center-right candidates that if they want to win in California, they’ll have to do it without an “R” after their name.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is this Goodbye, Sen. Newman?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Last year, California Democrats (and one Republican) passed a transportation funding bill that raised the state’s gas tax for the first time since 1994. As soon as the bill was signed into law, Republicans organized an effort to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/nuclear-option-why-politicians-are-warily-watching-the-recall-election-of-sen-josh-newman/\">recall\u003c/a> state Sen. Josh Newman. Newman wasn’t the author of the bill, but he does represent a purple district in north Orange County, which he won in 2016 by a fraction of a percentage point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall vote, which coincides with the primary election is more than just an Orange County phenomenon. Conservative activists hope to put a repeal of the gas tax increase on the November election ballot and Newman’s fate could be a test of how receptive voter will be to that effort. Plus, if Newman is successfully booted from office, that could inspire activists on both sides of the political spectrum to evoke the recall option more in the future to punish their ideological rivals\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Cox isn’t particularly well known and has been endorsed by President Trump, so that contest will be Newsom’s to lose in blue California. But if Villaraigosa edges out Cox, the state will have its first ever intraparty gubernatorial general election.. Many Democrats believe that will benefit the party as a whole—and help capture GOP-held congressional seats key to the Dems taking control of the House—by discouraging Republican turnout in November. Team Newsom begs to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/gavin-newsom-insists-his-campaign-tactic-wont-really-cost-democrats-the-house/\">differ\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who will be shutout in Orange County?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California’s top-two system can punish a party with too many candidates in one race.

Darrell Issa in Vista and Rep. Ed Royce in Fullerton (both are retiring) and in the seat held by Dana Rohrabacher in Huntington Beach.

Nationally, they are hoping to flip at least 23 seats to take back control of the House. Democratic operatives have seen the possibility of a top-two shut-out coming for months, but aside from offering endorsements, buying advertisements, and good old-fashioned browbeating, there isn’t \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/democratic-dread-party-tries-to-keep-californias-odd-election-rules-from-denying-them-the-u-s-house/\">much\u003c/a> the party can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Does outside money matter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California elections are always expensive.

Will it make a difference?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the race for governor, a handful of millionaires have bet big on Villaraigosa, spending over $20 million in support his campaign. The former mayor’s position on education policy seems to be a big draw. Villaraigosa is an avid charter school supporter and has advocated for changes to tenure rules for public school teachers. But for all that money, Villaraigosa trails Cox in most recent polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside cash is also pouring into races that carry more symbolic weight than real power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleni Kounalakis, the former ambassador to Hungary who has won some high profile endorsements in her campaign to become the next \u003ca href=\"https://elections.calmatters.org/2018/statewide-postings/lieutenant-governor/\">lieutenant governor\u003c/a>, has also benefited from some $5 million in independent spending from Angelo K. Tsakopoulos, a Sacramento developer who happens to be her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the race to become the next superintendent of public instruction, which administers public school policy but \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/candidates-for-california-schools-chief-vow-to-wield-more-influence-but-for-what/\">typically\u003c/a> doesn’t set it, over $7 million has been spent in support of Marshall Tuck, much of it from charter school advocates.

It’s the first state referendum on President Trump, whose immigration policies in particular have galvanized many Latino voters.

Nearly 60 are running in California, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://cawp.rutgers.edu/buzz-2018-potential-women-candidates-us-congress-and-statewide-elected-executive\">Center\u003c/a> for Women and Politics at Rutgers University. This election will be the first test of whether the surge in enthusiasm that has convinced so many women to run will also motivate voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the lieutenant governor’s race, Eleni Kounalakis, Lidya Ortega, or Gayle McLaughlin would be the first women to be elected to that position. Ditto for Delaine Eastin and Amanda Renteria if either were to overcome the long odds against them in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/half-states-governed-woman-not-california/\">male-dominated\u003c/a> field of candidates for governor. And in both of the state’s fiscal offices, two Democratic women—treasurer hopeful, Fiona Ma, and incumbent controller, Betty Ye—are the candidates to beat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in southeast Los Angeles will have an opportunity to weigh in more directly on #MeToo. Democrat Tony Mendoza, who resigned from the state Senate amid \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/14-harassment-investigations-underway-lawmakers-handle-accused/\">allegations\u003c/a> that he sexually harassed his staffers, is running for his old seat. In fact he’s running twice—both to serve as his own temporary replacement until November and to serve out the next full term. In an overlapping state Assembly district, Cristina Garcia, who has also been accused of sexual \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/investigation-finds-assemblywoman-cristina-garcia-violated-sexual-harassment-policy-but-only-with-vulgar-language/\">harassment\u003c/a>, is running for re-election too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How powerful is the Republican brand?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A California Republican hasn’t won statewide office since 2006. In that year, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger won his re-election bid and Steve Poizner became the state’s insurance commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Schwarzenegger \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-may-2018-schwarzenegger-won-t-vote-for-leading-1527889146-htmlstory.html\">said\u003c/a> he won’t be voting for either of the leading Republicans in the governor’s race, and Poizner is running again for his old seat—only this time, as a political independent. If Poizner makes it into the general election, that will put him in the running to become the first candidate to win statewide office as a “no party preference” candidate. It also may send a message to future center-right candidates that if they want to win in California, they’ll have to do it without an “R” after their name.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is this Goodbye, Sen. Newman?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Last year, California Democrats (and one Republican) passed a transportation funding bill that raised the state’s gas tax for the first time since 1994. As soon as the bill was signed into law, Republicans organized an effort to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/nuclear-option-why-politicians-are-warily-watching-the-recall-election-of-sen-josh-newman/\">recall\u003c/a> state Sen. Josh Newman. Newman wasn’t the author of the bill, but he does represent a purple district in north Orange County, which he won in 2016 by a fraction of a percentage point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall vote, which coincides with the primary election is more than just an Orange County phenomenon. Conservative activists hope to put a repeal of the gas tax increase on the November election ballot and Newman’s fate could be a test of how receptive voter will be to that effort. Plus, if Newman is successfully booted from office, that could inspire activists on both sides of the political spectrum to evoke the recall option more in the future to punish their ideological rivals\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California is crucial to the Democrats' hopes of taking back the House of Representatives. The party has targeted districts that are held by Republicans, but that Hillary Clinton won in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four of those seats are in the former Republican stronghold of Orange County. The big prize there would be toppling Republican incumbent \u003ca href=\"https://rohrabacher.house.gov/\">Dana Rohrabacher\u003c/a>, who has represented the 48th Congressional District for 30 years. But Democrats could be ruining their own chances. So many of them are competing there that they could dilute their strength in the state's unusual top-two system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rohrabacher touts his proud past as a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan and toes the conservative line on issues such as illegal immigration. He has decried what opponents call sanctuary cities, saying that those who support them \"are betraying the American people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Rohrabacher's other positions, however, make him seem vulnerable, even to fellow Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He voted against both the GOP \u003ca href=\"https://rohrabacher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rohrabacher-votes-no-on-tax-bill-conference-report\">tax cut\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://rohrabacher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rohrabacher-congressional-budget-process-insults-american-citizens\">omnibus spending bill\u003c/a>. He recently lost some business support when \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2018/05/24/dana-rohrabacher-says-its-ok-to-not-sell-homes-to-gays-loses-support-of-realtors/\">he said \u003c/a>that no one should have to sell their home to someone who's gay. But most controversial is his long support \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/05/590974632/meet-the-california-republican-embracing-russa-in-his-re-election-campaign-for-c\">for better relations with Russia\u003c/a> and his meetings with close associates of Vladimir Putin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Democratic voters crowded into a synagogue in Rohrabacher's district, eager to check out the candidates vying to replace him. Susan Becker knew what she was looking for. \"I have to support the person who is most likely to win,\" she said. \"It's just a shame that there are so many Democrats running, because we're going to split the vote.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/615704298/615718665\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's why Becker's worried. California's primary system puts all the candidates on one ballot. The two with the most votes go on to November, regardless of party. But in their enthusiasm to oppose Rohrabacher and Donald Trump, eight Democrats signed up, making it hard for any candidate to consolidate support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why Michael Kotick dropped out, though his name is still on the ballot. \"We have to be really smart about the math,\" he said. \"We have to make responsible decisions on behalf of the community and on behalf of the party.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What made Kotick's decision so urgent was that, at the last minute, another Republican jumped into the race — \u003ca href=\"https://scottbaughforcongress.com/\">Scott Baugh\u003c/a>, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly and former chair of the Orange County Republican Party. Baugh has name recognition in this district where Republicans still have an advantage in registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Democrats can't rally around a single candidate, they may have no one on the November ballot at all. At the synagogue forum, there was an awkward moment when the moderator asked one of the candidates why he didn't just drop out and throw his support to one of his fellow Democrats. The question got a round of applause.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11655106/california-congressmans-pro-russia-views-loom-large-in-re-election-fight\">Dana Rohrabacher's Pro-Russia Views Loom Large in Re-Election Fight\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11655106/california-congressmans-pro-russia-views-loom-large-in-re-election-fight\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/gettyimages-500588310_slide-1dac9cab2a69adc2883468576b0999cc9b9cb276-1180x786.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Really, the only issue that the voters at this event really cared about was winning.

He's a stem cell biologist, but more relevant at this event, he has the endorsement of the California Democratic Party. But that hasn't helped clarify anything. Democrats are split. The national Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is backing Keirstead's chief rival, technology entrepreneur \u003ca href=\"https://www.harleyforcongress.com/\">Harley Rouda\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 48th District is not the only place where Democrats' glut of candidates has imperiled their chances. In another Orange County congressional district, Democrats were going at each other so hard that the head of the state party \u003ca href=\"https://www.cadem.org/news/press-releases/2018/cdp-chair-eric-c-bauman-announces-extraordinary-agreement-between-thorburn-and-cisneros-campaigns-in-cd-39\">brokered a truce\u003c/a> on negative advertising. But since everyone competes on the same ballot, Democrats are attacking Republicans, too. The idea is that if they can knock a couple of them down, it'll improve the chances of a Democrat making it into the runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calstatela.patbrowninstitute.org/who-we-are/executive-director/\">Raphael Sonenshein\u003c/a>, the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://calstatela.patbrowninstitute.org/who-we-are/executive-director/\">Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs\u003c/a> at California State University Los Angeles, says everyone's now trying to figure out how to game the system, including voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, a voter might think, \"Should I vote for a candidate I don't much like so that our party doesn't get shut out? Or vote for that person so I can shut out the other party?\" Sonenshein says that the top two system was intended to make primaries less partisan. \"I think it hasn't really worked too well this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's not just Democrats who are facing a perilous primary next week.

He has decried what opponents call sanctuary cities, saying that those who support them \"are betraying the American people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Rohrabacher's other positions, however, make him seem vulnerable, even to fellow Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He voted against both the GOP \u003ca href=\"https://rohrabacher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rohrabacher-votes-no-on-tax-bill-conference-report\">tax cut\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://rohrabacher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rohrabacher-congressional-budget-process-insults-american-citizens\">omnibus spending bill\u003c/a>.

Susan Becker knew what she was looking for. \"I have to support the person who is most likely to win,\" she said. \"It's just a shame that there are so many Democrats running, because we're going to split the vote.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/615704298/615718665\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's why Becker's worried. California's primary system puts all the candidates on one ballot. The two with the most votes go on to November, regardless of party. But in their enthusiasm to oppose Rohrabacher and Donald Trump, eight Democrats signed up, making it hard for any candidate to consolidate support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why Michael Kotick dropped out, though his name is still on the ballot. \"We have to be really smart about the math,\" he said. \"We have to make responsible decisions on behalf of the community and on behalf of the party.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What made Kotick's decision so urgent was that, at the last minute, another Republican jumped into the race — \u003ca href=\"https://scottbaughforcongress.com/\">Scott Baugh\u003c/a>, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly and former chair of the Orange County Republican Party. Baugh has name recognition in this district where Republicans still have an advantage in registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Democrats can't rally around a single candidate, they may have no one on the November ballot at all. At the synagogue forum, there was an awkward moment when the moderator asked one of the candidates why he didn't just drop out and throw his support to one of his fellow Democrats. The question got a round of applause.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11655106/california-congressmans-pro-russia-views-loom-large-in-re-election-fight\">Dana Rohrabacher's Pro-Russia Views Loom Large in Re-Election Fight\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11655106/california-congressmans-pro-russia-views-loom-large-in-re-election-fight\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/gettyimages-500588310_slide-1dac9cab2a69adc2883468576b0999cc9b9cb276-1180x786.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Really, the only issue that the voters at this event really cared about was winning.

He's a stem cell biologist, but more relevant at this event, he has the endorsement of the California Democratic Party. But that hasn't helped clarify anything. Democrats are split. The national Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is backing Keirstead's chief rival, technology entrepreneur \u003ca href=\"https://www.harleyforcongress.com/\">Harley Rouda\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 48th District is not the only place where Democrats' glut of candidates has imperiled their chances. In another Orange County congressional district, Democrats were going at each other so hard that the head of the state party \u003ca href=\"https://www.cadem.org/news/press-releases/2018/cdp-chair-eric-c-bauman-announces-extraordinary-agreement-between-thorburn-and-cisneros-campaigns-in-cd-39\">brokered a truce\u003c/a> on negative advertising. But since everyone competes on the same ballot, Democrats are attacking Republicans, too. The idea is that if they can knock a couple of them down, it'll improve the chances of a Democrat making it into the runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calstatela.patbrowninstitute.org/who-we-are/executive-director/\">Raphael Sonenshein\u003c/a>, the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://calstatela.patbrowninstitute.org/who-we-are/executive-director/\">Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs\u003c/a> at California State University Los Angeles, says everyone's now trying to figure out how to game the system, including voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, a voter might think, \"Should I vote for a candidate I don't much like so that our party doesn't get shut out? Or vote for that person so I can shut out the other party?\" Sonenshein says that the top two system was intended to make primaries less partisan. \"I think it hasn't really worked too well this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's not just Democrats who are facing a perilous primary next week.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
