This is the time to do it. It’s a ‘break glass moment’ and I think I bring the experiences to help build us out of this mess,” Becerra told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As President Joe Biden’s choice to be health secretary, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/department-of-health-and-human-services\">Becerra oversaw an agency\u003c/a> with a sprawling array of responsibilities, from protecting food and drug safety to managing the Medicare and Medicaid programs and helping to implement the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s office confirmed the Trump administration will \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12033968/san-franciscos-hhs-office-close-federal-health-cuts-pelosi\">shut down San Francisco’s HHS office\u003c/a> this spring as thousands of layoffs begin amid widespread cuts to the federal health agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayra Alvarez, president at the Children’s Partnership, a statewide advocacy organization focused on child health equity, has worked with Becerra for nearly 20 years in Washington and Sacramento. She has not endorsed anyone in the race but said that as HHS Secretary Becerra played a critical role in strengthening the nation’s health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Becerra really took ownership of ensuring that laws like the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid were as strong as possible, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic and coming out of the public health emergency,” Alvarez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11989201 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/060624-Ideas-Fest-Alex-Becerra-LV-CM-1-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, who was California’s top law enforcement official when Biden nominated him, was not an obvious choice to run HHS, which has a fiscal year 2024 budget of $1.7 trillion, accounting for 25% of the nation’s entire federal spending. Although he helped implement the Biden administration’s COVID-19 policies, including vaccine distribution, Becerra was often in the background, especially compared with Dr. Anthony Fauci.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His biggest challenge is that he did not serve in a particularly high profile way during his time in Biden’s cabinet, so he’d come into this race with a decided name recognition disadvantage,” said Dan Schnur, a USC political communications professor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, Schnur notes Becerra will benefit from his years as California’s AG.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During his time as attorney general, he got to know a lot of people statewide and a lot of different constituencies so his base might be less demographic and geographic than it is ideological,” Schnur said, adding Becerra’s true strength won’t be known until former Vice President Kamala Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026900/could-kamala-harris-shake-up-californias-governor-race-democrats-weigh-in\">decides if she’s running\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said he’s in the race no matter who else jumps in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve put my sneakers on the starting block, and I’m in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, 67, is leaning on his resume in hopes of distinguishing himself from a growing field of Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I think I bring to this position as governor that no other candidate can is the executive experience of having been in the heat of this — in the kitchen at the hottest point — and having to deliver results,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beccera, who sued the Trump administration 120 times as attorney general, often successfully, enters a crowded Democratic field with Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, former Rep. Katie Porter, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, former state legislative leader Toni Atkins and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a conservative Republican, has also declared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, who returned to California when Trump was sworn in, has said she’ll decide whether to run by the end of summer. Becerra isn’t waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s California’s time to rise, and it makes no difference to me how many people are in the race. For me, the competition is — can I get to enough people to explain how my experience and my gut are going to serve as well as governor,” Beccera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, Becerra said he didn’t necessarily have any “big ideas” to set him apart from the other candidates, saying he’s offering leadership that is prepared, focused and measured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many Democrats say they want a fighter who will stand up against Republicans, Becerra acknowledges he’s not the type of politician who gives stem-winder speeches or creates viral moments on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am who I am. I’ve had pretty decent success being authentic. That’s not going to change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not mentioning Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by name, Becerra faulted his successor as HHS secretary for not getting on top of the current measles outbreak, blaming it on a lack of preparation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we can’t afford are man-made disasters where you fire people simply because they’re workers for the federal government, or you stop doing cancer research simply because you don’t like the NIH,” Beccera said, referring to the National Institutes of Health. “The reality is, it’s California’s time to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must rise to this challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Although he helped implement the Biden administration’s COVID-19 policies, including vaccine distribution, Becerra was often in the background, especially compared with Dr. Anthony Fauci.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His biggest challenge is that he did not serve in a particularly high profile way during his time in Biden’s cabinet, so he’d come into this race with a decided name recognition disadvantage,” said Dan Schnur, a USC political communications professor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, Schnur notes Becerra will benefit from his years as California’s AG.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During his time as attorney general, he got to know a lot of people statewide and a lot of different constituencies so his base might be less demographic and geographic than it is ideological,” Schnur said, adding Becerra’s true strength won’t be known until former Vice President Kamala Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026900/could-kamala-harris-shake-up-californias-governor-race-democrats-weigh-in\">decides if she’s running\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said he’s in the race no matter who else jumps in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve put my sneakers on the starting block, and I’m in,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, 67, is leaning on his resume in hopes of distinguishing himself from a growing field of Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I think I bring to this position as governor that no other candidate can is the executive experience of having been in the heat of this — in the kitchen at the hottest point — and having to deliver results,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beccera, who sued the Trump administration 120 times as attorney general, often successfully, enters a crowded Democratic field with Lt.

Becerra isn’t waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s California’s time to rise, and it makes no difference to me how many people are in the race. For me, the competition is — can I get to enough people to explain how my experience and my gut are going to serve as well as governor,” Beccera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, Becerra said he didn’t necessarily have any “big ideas” to set him apart from the other candidates, saying he’s offering leadership that is prepared, focused and measured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many Democrats say they want a fighter who will stand up against Republicans, Becerra acknowledges he’s not the type of politician who gives stem-winder speeches or creates viral moments on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am who I am.

Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think (Harris) has an incredibly important leadership role to play in the future, should she choose to take one. And I suspect that she is adjusting and processing,” Kounalakis said. “I think that things are going to change probably in the next couple of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I’m waiting, just like most of my supporters and others who I hope will be my supporters are kind of waiting to see what happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer, who has also endorsed Villaraigosa, admits Harris “would be so formidable.” She said the first question Harris has to answer is whether she wants to run for president in 2028.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re just doing it (running for governor) because you lost another race, people get it,” Boxer said. “The voters are very smart. They want you to be enthused, excited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, if it seems like Harris views the governor’s job as a consolation prize to the presidency, it won’t help her candidacy. Running for governor and winning would essentially foreclose another run for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t talked to anybody that said they hope she doesn’t run (for governor),” Buell said. “And there’s enough of a base that I think that there are people who would like to see her do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Buell said, there was considerably less enthusiasm for another Harris option: Another run for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would tell you that the party leaders that I’ve talked to don’t see her as the most viable (candidate) four years from now,” Buell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her political career, Harris has often been criticized for seeming to lack authenticity while campaigning. She is cautious and often guarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If she runs, I would expect her to wage a much more personal campaign for governor of her home state,” said Dan Schnur, who teaches political communication at UC Berkeley and the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, who called Harris “one of the most risk-averse politicians in the country,” said a run for governor would give her a chance to campaign in friendlier political territory than she often experienced in her 100-day run for president — and on issues where she is more personally comfortable.[aside postID=news_12019149 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GETTYIMAGES-2181827064-KQED.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has never had a female governor, and Harris, as well as the other women running, could break that barrier. Aimee Allison, whose organization She the People advocates for electing more women of color, said at this moment, that alone is not enough for any candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even more important than representation, they have to make an argument that the old guard and the old way of politicking isn’t going to work in Trump’s America, not Trump 2.0,” Allison said. “There’s too many attacks, and they’re coming from so many different places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom has pivoted from criticizing Trump to figuring out how to flatter him enough to get what California needs in disaster relief, Allison said accommodation is not an option for the next governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to be willing to get into the arena, set your agenda and fight like hell. That’s who we want right now,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris would not be the first former vice president who ran for president and lost, then turned around and ran for governor of California two years later. Richard Nixon did it in 1962 after losing a razor-thin race to John F. Kennedy. Nixon lost a bitter campaign to Pat Brown, the incumbent Democratic governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After saying he was done with politics, Nixon reemerged eight years later and was elected president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what the downsides of Harris running for governor were, Schnur’s answer was simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She could lose,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And I suspect that she is adjusting and processing,” Kounalakis said. “I think that things are going to change probably in the next couple of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I’m waiting, just like most of my supporters and others who I hope will be my supporters are kind of waiting to see what happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer, who has also endorsed Villaraigosa, admits Harris “would be so formidable.” She said the first question Harris has to answer is whether she wants to run for president in 2028.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re just doing it (running for governor) because you lost another race, people get it,” Boxer said. “The voters are very smart.

Running for governor and winning would essentially foreclose another run for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t talked to anybody that said they hope she doesn’t run (for governor),” Buell said. “And there’s enough of a base that I think that there are people who would like to see her do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Buell said, there was considerably less enthusiasm for another Harris option: Another run for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would tell you that the party leaders that I’ve talked to don’t see her as the most viable (candidate) four years from now,” Buell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her political career, Harris has often been criticized for seeming to lack authenticity while campaigning. She is cautious and often guarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If she runs, I would expect her to wage a much more personal campaign for governor of her home state,” said Dan Schnur, who teaches political communication at UC Berkeley and the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, who called Harris “one of the most risk-averse politicians in the country,” said a run for governor would give her a chance to campaign in friendlier political territory than she often experienced in her 100-day run for president — and on issues where she is more personally comfortable.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Aimee Allison, whose organization She the People advocates for electing more women of color, said at this moment, that alone is not enough for any candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even more important than representation, they have to make an argument that the old guard and the old way of politicking isn’t going to work in Trump’s America, not Trump 2.0,” Allison said. “There’s too many attacks, and they’re coming from so many different places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom has pivoted from criticizing Trump to figuring out how to flatter him enough to get what California needs in disaster relief, Allison said accommodation is not an option for the next governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to be willing to get into the arena, set your agenda and fight like hell. That’s who we want right now,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris would not be the first former vice president who ran for president and lost, then turned around and ran for governor of California two years later. Richard Nixon did it in 1962 after losing a razor-thin race to John F. Kennedy.

But that didn’t happen. Trump, for example, won white suburban women by 7 points, as well as white suburban men — by 27. So there were some split kitchen tables, but not enough to help Harris win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In multiple swing states, there were significant shifts in Trump’s direction in the suburbs, based on nearly final vote totals.

The previous best was 61% — set by Trump in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That helped him in all of the swing states but also in red states, like Texas, which boosted his total in the popular vote. He gained, for example, a net of more than 900,000 votes in Texas compared to 2020; and more than 1 million in Florida, a longtime competitive state that saw a dramatic swing in Trump’s direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His improvement in those states also reflects the major shifts in his direction with Latino voters in South Florida and South Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Harris also underperformed in urban areas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A lot of Democratic base voters live in big cities, and those urban areas are often key to a Democrat winning in the swing states. However, Harris got just 59% of voters in urban areas, lower than Biden, former President Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That underperformance is a large part of why she lost in key states. For example, in Maricopa County, Arizona, home to Phoenix, Harris got roughly 61,000 fewer votes than Biden in 2020. Trump, on the other hand, gained about 56,000, for a 117,000-vote shift in just one county.\u003cbr>\n[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='election-2024']\u003cbr>\nIn Wayne County, Michigan (Detroit), Harris saw a decline of more than 60,000 votes, while Trump gained about 24,000. Black voters are key in Wayne County, but so are Arab Americans. About 100,000 Arab Americans, the largest population of Arab Americans in the country, live in Dearborn, and many were upset over the Biden administration’s policies toward the war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a similar story in other key urban areas in the swing states, from Las Vegas to Philadelphia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Harris saw declines in blue states, too, declining in New York, for example, by more than 800,000 from Biden’s total four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A couple dozen people \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013226/dozens-gather-in-sf-for-vigil-after-trump-win\">gathered for a vigil\u003c/a> at Harvey Milk Plaza on Wednesday night. There was a small demonstration at UC Berkeley, and about 100 people marched through the streets of San José.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mostly, the response has felt muted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the main outcome for many people who might have been out protesting is the feeling of being dispirited, the feeling of being humbled, the feeling of being out of touch with a lot of America,” said Jon Krosnick, a political psychologist at Stanford University. “Those aren’t the kinds of emotions that are inspiring a protest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people KQED spoke with said election results left them feeling defeated. Some are unsure what real impact another march will have. And a significant number of the young people who were coming of age during Trump’s first term say they’re disillusioned with the Democratic Party. While there haven’t been mass protests in the streets, all of these contingents say they are looking toward Trump’s second term and preparing to fight it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Flynt, who is a member of the General Union of Palestine Students at San Francisco State, said there wasn’t a possible election outcome that made Trump’s victory worth protesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t ignore the biggest anti-war movement in over half a century internationally, but also across campuses all across the United States, and expect young people to be excited,” he told KQED. “You can’t move to the right on immigration, brag about building Donald Trump’s border wall, prosecuting transnational gangs, demonizing immigrants and expect Democrats and young people to vote for the Democratic Party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pro-Palestinian protesters have been a force on Bay Area college campuses since Israel began its war in Gaza after a Hamas-led attack killed 1,200 people in October 2023.

Then, it felt implausible that someone who used inflammatory language like Trump would be elected. There was outrage that he lost the popular vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, he won the electoral college more handily and is leading in the popular vote by more than a two-point margin. There’s much less shock because he’s held office before. In general, the feeling is more resignation than anger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether those feelings linger or turn into determination and defiance will be an important indicator of how national politics will trend in the near future, Krosnick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the part of America that supports the Democratic Party becomes deactivated as a result of this, then the momentum of the Republican Party is going to be tremendous in the coming decades,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans also gained a majority in the Senate, flipping four seats. Control of the House of Representatives has not yet been decided, but Republicans have already picked up two seats from Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Protest will be critical for balancing the scales,” Krosnick said, adding that demonstrations will rely on young people to be successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, it’s easier for young people to take the time, he said. They also haven’t seen the political pendulum swing left and right as many times and, in the past, have usually been less disillusioned with the impact they can make.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot more people just are taking their time to kind of process, accept what this means and then move forward,” said Zoe Tweedie, the president of the Stanford University chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and Brian Yan, another one of SF State’s General Union of Palestine Students leaders, do believe that young people will activate around Trump’s policies once he is in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yan and Flynt are focused on how the Trump administration handles the war in Gaza. They expect Trump, who has urged Israel to “finish the job” in Gaza, will be less critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think with Trump in office, this could galvanize people,” Yan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They see the second Trump term as an opportunity for Democrats to rally around the pro-Palestine movement and move toward the progressive wing of the party.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12013226,news_12012421,forum_2010101907754\"]“We’re hoping that we see something similar to the attitude around [Black Lives Matter],” Flynt said. “When Donald Trump became president — [creating] the 1776 project, calling BLM terrorists, calling antifa terrorists — all of a sudden, we see \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13881731/a-front-row-seat-at-the-woke-theatre\">Nancy Pelosi wearing a Kente cloth\u003c/a>, on her knee, putting her fist up for the Black Lives Matter movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tweedie expects people to focus less on protest and more on advocacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what you’re going to see and what I’m already seeing a lot more of is rather than negative campaigns, positive campaigns,” she said. “The ACLU is investing time into, ‘How can we protect rights that we’re scared we’re going to lose?’ rather than ‘How can we protest against Trump?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students she’s spoken with want to focus on issue-driven organizing efforts.

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.
