Speaking on a late January day outside city hall in her hometown of Oakland, California, she framed her bid as part of something bigger than simply winning an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question,” Harris said, invoking Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 call for “moral leadership.” “Who are we as Americans?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early days of Harris’ campaign were wrapped in historical significance. She formally launched her bid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, referencing Shirley Chisholm, the first Black person and woman to seek a major party’s presidential nod.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, with Democrats in despair over \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump\">Donald Trump’s\u003c/a> presidency, the first-term California senator appeared to be an ideal cure. The daughter of an Indian mother and a Black Jamaican father, Harris evoked comparisons to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/barack-obama\">Barack Obama\u003c/a>, whose powerful biography and soaring rhetoric galvanized Democrats more than a decade earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the early promise of Harris’ campaign met a more complicated reality as she spent the next 10 months struggling to break through a crowded field of candidates and churning through staff and cash. She ultimately withdrew from the race weeks before the Iowa caucuses, a disappointment mitigated only when nominee Joe Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/biden-picks-kamala-harris-as-running-mate-first-black-woman-905fa6cee7441c8b0cd5363d578278ce\">selected her as his running mate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-drops-out-2024-election-ddffde72838370032bdcff946cfc2ce6\">ended his reelection bid\u003c/a>, Democrats say Harris has grown into a more savvy candidate who will avoid repeating mistakes from her first campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look, there’s been no roadmap for Kamala Harris,” said Donna Brazile, a former Democratic National Committee chair and one of the prominent Black Democrats who urged Biden to pick Harris in 2020. “But she’s really found her voice and has been going non-stop since the 2022 midterm campaign, especially. I think she’s become a generational figure and proven she can bring … leadership to the party and the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">Harris began her campaign as a favorite\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A former prosecutor and state attorney general, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/4835b99bb5304fffb5c713c16a7db18a\">launched her 2020 campaign\u003c/a> with the slogan: “Kamala Harris: For the People.” She spoke in sweeping terms about an “inflection point” for a country riven with social fissures, economic disparities and political strife. She emphasized her biography and her “stroller’s-eye view” of her parents’ activism in the Civil Rights Movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early entrant to the race, Harris’ initial media blitz and massive opening rally solidified her status as a presumed favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her aides outlined a wide path to the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders led the Democrats’ progressive wing, with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren offering his biggest challenge. Biden, then the 76-year-old former vice president, had yet to announce but was expected to anchor the more centrist wing, and he stood strong among Black voters who figured so prominently in the first-in-the-South primary in South Carolina and many Super Tuesday states that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris came to the campaign having hit her stride during Senate Judiciary Committee sessions, especially when questioning Trump’s judicial nominees. She’d also signed on as a co-sponsor to Sanders’ push for a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ec36c409be344f23854ae4497ad87ee5\">“Medicare for All”\u003c/a> national health insurance system. She was a regular on cable news and social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some younger progressives distrusted her record as a prosecutor. “Kamala is a cop” became a tagline on social media. That contingent, however vocal, was not viewed as large enough to sway a national primary contest — and its opposition actually affirmed one of Harris’ arguments: “My entire career has been focused on keeping people safe,” she told ABC News. “It is probably one of the things that motivates me more than anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her full potential, Harris’ aides reasoned, she could appeal to nearly all branches of the party. It was, more or less, a campaign intended to chip away and eventually overtake Biden’s coalition, presuming he joined the race, bolstered with a leftward reach that Biden, the white male veteran of the Washington establishment, could never manage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">‘That little girl was me’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There’s an art in presidential politics to entice voters in ways that allow them to see what they want to see: “Hope and Change” from Obama, “Make America Great Again” from Trump. The risk in aiming everywhere, though, is that a candidate may not stick anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ early appearances in Iowa, first up in the nominating calendar, and South Carolina were dominated by working-age women, a key Democratic demographic. In South Carolina, far more diverse than overwhelmingly white Iowa, her audiences were racially diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the overall field widened, Harris faded from de facto front-runner status.

Speaking on a late January day outside city hall in her hometown of Oakland, California, she framed her bid as part of something bigger than simply winning an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question,” Harris said, invoking Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 call for “moral leadership.” “Who are we as Americans?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early days of Harris’ campaign were wrapped in historical significance. She formally launched her bid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, referencing Shirley Chisholm, the first Black person and woman to seek a major party’s presidential nod.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, with Democrats in despair over \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump\">Donald Trump’s\u003c/a> presidency, the first-term California senator appeared to be an ideal cure. The daughter of an Indian mother and a Black Jamaican father, Harris evoked comparisons to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/barack-obama\">Barack Obama\u003c/a>, whose powerful biography and soaring rhetoric galvanized Democrats more than a decade earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She ultimately withdrew from the race weeks before the Iowa caucuses, a disappointment mitigated only when nominee Joe Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/biden-picks-kamala-harris-as-running-mate-first-black-woman-905fa6cee7441c8b0cd5363d578278ce\">selected her as his running mate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-drops-out-2024-election-ddffde72838370032bdcff946cfc2ce6\">ended his reelection bid\u003c/a>, Democrats say Harris has grown into a more savvy candidate who will avoid repeating mistakes from her first campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look, there’s been no roadmap for Kamala Harris,” said Donna Brazile, a former Democratic National Committee chair and one of the prominent Black Democrats who urged Biden to pick Harris in 2020. “But she’s really found her voice and has been going non-stop since the 2022 midterm campaign, especially. I think she’s become a generational figure and proven she can bring … leadership to the party and the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">Harris began her campaign as a favorite\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A former prosecutor and state attorney general, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/4835b99bb5304fffb5c713c16a7db18a\">launched her 2020 campaign\u003c/a> with the slogan: “Kamala Harris: For the People.” She spoke in sweeping terms about an “inflection point” for a country riven with social fissures, economic disparities and political strife. She emphasized her biography and her “stroller’s-eye view” of her parents’ activism in the Civil Rights Movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early entrant to the race, Harris’ initial media blitz and massive opening rally solidified her status as a presumed favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her aides outlined a wide path to the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders led the Democrats’ progressive wing, with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren offering his biggest challenge. Biden, then the 76-year-old former vice president, had yet to announce but was expected to anchor the more centrist wing, and he stood strong among Black voters who figured so prominently in the first-in-the-South primary in South Carolina and many Super Tuesday states that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris came to the campaign having hit her stride during Senate Judiciary Committee sessions, especially when questioning Trump’s judicial nominees. She’d also signed on as a co-sponsor to Sanders’ push for a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ec36c409be344f23854ae4497ad87ee5\">“Medicare for All”\u003c/a> national health insurance system. She was a regular on cable news and social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some younger progressives distrusted her record as a prosecutor. “Kamala is a cop” became a tagline on social media. That contingent, however vocal, was not viewed as large enough to sway a national primary contest — and its opposition actually affirmed one of Harris’ arguments: “My entire career has been focused on keeping people safe,” she told ABC News. “It is probably one of the things that motivates me more than anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her full potential, Harris’ aides reasoned, she could appeal to nearly all branches of the party. It was, more or less, a campaign intended to chip away and eventually overtake Biden’s coalition, presuming he joined the race, bolstered with a leftward reach that Biden, the white male veteran of the Washington establishment, could never manage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">‘That little girl was me’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There’s an art in presidential politics to entice voters in ways that allow them to see what they want to see: “Hope and Change” from Obama, “Make America Great Again” from Trump. The risk in aiming everywhere, though, is that a candidate may not stick anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ early appearances in Iowa, first up in the nominating calendar, and South Carolina were dominated by working-age women, a key Democratic demographic. In South Carolina, far more diverse than overwhelmingly white Iowa, her audiences were racially diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the overall field widened, Harris faded from de facto front-runner status. She became one of many candidates vying for money, media attention and votes — especially once Biden announced in the spring. She raised $12 million in the first quarter of 2019, a solid sum but not one that reflected the electricity of her opening salvo in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That thing was a free-for-all,” said Boyd Brown, a former Democratic National Committee member who backed former Texas Rep.

"content": "\u003cp>On Monday morning, more than 300 former donors and supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris joined an 8 a.m. conference call. The goal, according to one speaker, California Lieutenant Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, was to rally Harris’ donor networks toward the task of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101906410/president-biden-withdraws-from-presidential-race-endorses-kamala-harris\">building a war chest needed to win the presidency\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of folks who have been very close to not just the president, but very specifically to the vice president over the years,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101906410/president-biden-withdraws-from-presidential-race-endorses-kamala-harris\">Kounalakis told KQED Forum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca>California’s deep networks of Democratic donors are a crucial asset for Harris\u003c/a> as she works to secure the party’s nomination and launch a general election campaign — especially after a month of lagging fundraising following President Joe Biden’s performance in his debate against Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is off to a furious start: her campaign announced that it had raised $81 million within 24 hours of Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election and instead endorse Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks said the fundraising totals, which include money raised by the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees, stand as a clear marker to any Democrat considering a challenge to the vice president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s my view that Kamala Harris is head and shoulders above anyone who might step forward. I think that’s why you’re seeing her get the level of support from within our party that she is getting,” Hicks said on Forum. “The grassroots support financially that she has received in the last 24 hours or so, or since President Biden’s announcement, I think that’s the kind of energy, the kind of infrastructure that’s required to win a tough and tight race, which is exactly what this will be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-07-22/kamala-harris-record-breaking-81-million-presidential-bid\">historic day of fundraising\u003c/a> comes after weeks of concern from Democratic donors about Biden’s age and ability to beat Trump in November. Even before the debate, fundraising disclosures show that the Trump campaign had pulled ahead of Biden’s team, finishing June with $285 million on hand, compared to Biden’s $240 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the debate, some of Biden’s largest financial backers called for his \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/10/nx-s1-5033984/some-of-bidens-campaign-donors-are-withholding-funds-calling-for-his-replacement\">replacement on the ticket — with some even threatening\u003c/a> to withhold funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change at the top of the ticket has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996731/top-san-francisco-democrats-throw-their-support-behind-kamala-harris\">revitalized some big-dollar Democrats who viewed Biden’s run as a lost cause\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is the ATM for the Democratic Party, so we’ll certainly be there for that,” said Mark Buell, the fundraising chair for many of Harris’ California campaigns, on Forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buell said he would like to see a more competitive primary among Democrats before the party’s August convention in Chicago. However, he said he’s glad to see Biden pass the torch to a candidate who can motivate active California Democrats to open their checkbooks or volunteer in swing states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s got the energy, she’s got the brains, and I think the country is very anxious to see some younger, more relevant candidates,” Buell added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Harris supporters, Buell acknowledged that the vice president’s accelerated quest for the White House is an “uphill race.” Even on the fundraising front, Harris is in uncharted territory. The $81 million haul touted by the campaign on Monday would be more than what Harris raised in the entirety of her runs for president in 2019 ($43.8 million) and Senate in 2016 ($15.3 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kounalakis said Harris backers left the Monday morning meeting with a call to grow the vice president’s networks of support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Elections are about addition, and it’s up to us to widen these circles and deepen the support for her,” she said. “That is the only way that we’re actually going to be able to have victory in November.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ campaign said that 60% of the donors in the last 24 hours made their first donation of the 2024 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aimee Allison, founder of She the People, a national organization that promotes the leadership of women of color, said some of Harris’s most loyal supporters live outside of California. Allison pointed to Harris’s membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation’s oldest Black sorority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has deep roots in the South, in Georgia, and as an AKA with these Black women networks that really stretch nationally but are deeply rooted in the South,” Allison said. “Those really powerful networks are going to be important as well.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The goal, according to one speaker, California Lieutenant Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, was to rally Harris’ donor networks toward the task of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101906410/president-biden-withdraws-from-presidential-race-endorses-kamala-harris\">building a war chest needed to win the presidency\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of folks who have been very close to not just the president, but very specifically to the vice president over the years,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101906410/president-biden-withdraws-from-presidential-race-endorses-kamala-harris\">Kounalakis told KQED Forum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca>California’s deep networks of Democratic donors are a crucial asset for Harris\u003c/a> as she works to secure the party’s nomination and launch a general election campaign — especially after a month of lagging fundraising following President Joe Biden’s performance in his debate against Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is off to a furious start: her campaign announced that it had raised $81 million within 24 hours of Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election and instead endorse Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks said the fundraising totals, which include money raised by the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees, stand as a clear marker to any Democrat considering a challenge to the vice president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I think that’s why you’re seeing her get the level of support from within our party that she is getting,” Hicks said on Forum. “The grassroots support financially that she has received in the last 24 hours or so, or since President Biden’s announcement, I think that’s the kind of energy, the kind of infrastructure that’s required to win a tough and tight race, which is exactly what this will be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-07-22/kamala-harris-record-breaking-81-million-presidential-bid\">historic day of fundraising\u003c/a> comes after weeks of concern from Democratic donors about Biden’s age and ability to beat Trump in November. Even before the debate, fundraising disclosures show that the Trump campaign had pulled ahead of Biden’s team, finishing June with $285 million on hand, compared to Biden’s $240 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the debate, some of Biden’s largest financial backers called for his \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/10/nx-s1-5033984/some-of-bidens-campaign-donors-are-withholding-funds-calling-for-his-replacement\">replacement on the ticket — with some even threatening\u003c/a> to withhold funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change at the top of the ticket has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996731/top-san-francisco-democrats-throw-their-support-behind-kamala-harris\">revitalized some big-dollar Democrats who viewed Biden’s run as a lost cause\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is the ATM for the Democratic Party, so we’ll certainly be there for that,” said Mark Buell, the fundraising chair for many of Harris’ California campaigns, on Forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buell said he would like to see a more competitive primary among Democrats before the party’s August convention in Chicago. However, he said he’s glad to see Biden pass the torch to a candidate who can motivate active California Democrats to open their checkbooks or volunteer in swing states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s got the energy, she’s got the brains, and I think the country is very anxious to see some younger, more relevant candidates,” Buell added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Harris supporters, Buell acknowledged that the vice president’s accelerated quest for the White House is an “uphill race.” Even on the fundraising front, Harris is in uncharted territory. The $81 million haul touted by the campaign on Monday would be more than what Harris raised in the entirety of her runs for president in 2019 ($43.8 million) and Senate in 2016 ($15.3 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kounalakis said Harris backers left the Monday morning meeting with a call to grow the vice president’s networks of support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Elections are about addition, and it’s up to us to widen these circles and deepen the support for her,” she said. “That is the only way that we’re actually going to be able to have victory in November.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ campaign said that 60% of the donors in the last 24 hours made their first donation of the 2024 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aimee Allison, founder of She the People, a national organization that promotes the leadership of women of color, said some of Harris’s most loyal supporters live outside of California. Allison pointed to Harris’s membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation’s oldest Black sorority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has deep roots in the South, in Georgia, and as an AKA with these Black women networks that really stretch nationally but are deeply rooted in the South,” Allison said. “Those really powerful networks are going to be important as well.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Nancy Pelosi\u003c/a>, the former Democratic House Speaker who remains one of the party’s most influential leaders, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, making clear she stands behind her fellow Californian as Harris works to lock up the Democratic nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, whose relationship with Harris dates back decades, issued the full-throated endorsement on Monday morning, a day after President Biden announced he would drop out of the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, it is with immense pride and limitless optimism for our country’s future that I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. My enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris for President is official, personal and political,” Pelosi said \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/TeamPelosi/status/1815439126512234707\">in a statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi played a key behind-the-scenes role in recent weeks to pressure Biden to step aside — and her lack of immediate endorsement for Harris was raising some eyebrows, given both women’s ties to San Francisco. Before Biden dropped out, Pelosi said she favored a competitive process to pick a new Democratic candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Pelsoi had nothing other than praise for Harris in her endorsement statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Officially, I have seen Kamala Harris’s strength and courage as a champion for working families, notably fighting for a woman’s right to choose. Personally, I have known Kamala Harris for decades as rooted in strong values, faith and a commitment to public service.

Gavin Newsom is taking back state resources from local jurisdictions that don’t act on his priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve days ago, Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993611/newsom-to-quadruple-chp-deployment-in-oakland-ramping-up-states-policing-role\">rescinded an offer\u003c/a> to send a state attorney to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office to assist with drug prosecutions, saying the offer had not been “enthusiastically embraced” by District Attorney Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last week, he revoked a $10 million grant for San Diego County to build tiny homes for people experiencing homelessness because, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/16/newsom-withdraws-10m-tiny-homes-grant-for-san-diego-00168514\">reporting\u003c/a> by Politico, officials didn’t act fast enough to build the homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who has faced criticism from conservatives on the state’s handling of homelessness and public safety, has ratcheted up his focus on these issues in recent months. He proposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982070/campaign-to-roll-back-prop-47-criminal-justice-reforms-could-head-to-voters\">a plan to reform Proposition 47\u003c/a>, which decreased penalties for property crimes; deployed California Highway Patrol officers across the state to aid local law enforcement; and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/18/newsom-tougher-stance-cities-combating-homelessness-00152983#:~:text=California%20Gov.,ahead%20of%20an%20announcement%20Thursday.\">announced a plan\u003c/a> to hold cities accountable if they fail to build low-income housing, among other actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of us have to step up and be accountable. It’s a serious moment, a crisis for members of the community,” Newsom said at a press conference in Oakland on July 11, adding that Alameda County wasn’t responding with urgency to address public safety challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/exploration/crime-statistics/crimes-clearances\">data\u003c/a> from the state Department of Justice, violent crime has been on the rise in the county since 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rather than lament about it and just spend all my time pointing fingers, we’re now working around this,” Newsom said, announcing the state attorney he’d planned to send to Price’s office is now being rerouted to work with the state Attorney General’s office on cases that originate in the county.[aside postID=news_11993611 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240711-NEWSOM-CARS-AF-01-KQED-1020x680.jpg']Price, who faces a recall election in November, immediately swung back. She accused Newsom of acting rashly and said he disregarded how the negotiations played out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope the governor will get the facts and call us,” Price said at her own press conference on July 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom first announced his plan to provide the Alameda DA’s office with extra state attorneys \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975161/newsom-to-send-state-prosecutors-to-oakland-to-help-crack-down-on-rising-crime\">in February.\u003c/a> The plan was modeled after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/newsom-fentanyl-drug-crisis-sf-breed-tenderloin-17911401.php\">similar partnership\u003c/a> agreement made with San Francisco’s District Attorney in 2023. The February announcement was timed to coincide with a deployment of California Highway Patrol officers to assist East Bay law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was seemingly simple: The three California National Guard working in San Francisco would transition to Alameda County as they finished their assignments, according to Price. Because of limits on what military personnel can work on, the attorneys would only be able to assist in drug prosecutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Price said she welcomed the assistance, but details remained hazy about who the attorneys were, when they would arrive and how long they would stay in Alameda County. Price said she was notified of Newsom’s February plan one day before the public announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said there was initially confusion about how her office handles drug cases. The vast majority of drug cases follow what is called a horizontal prosecution model, which means attorneys are assigned to different parts of the court process. As a criminal case progresses, it moves from one attorney to the next. In any given case, for example, one attorney decides what charges to apply, another handles the arraignment of the defendant, another files preliminary motions and yet another manages the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some serious drug cases are handled by a coalition of law enforcement officers and prosecutors known as the Alameda County Narcotics Task Force. Assistant District Attorney Michael Nieto represents the DA’s office on the task force. He works in a vertical prosecution model, which means he handles cases from charging to disposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said Col. Mark Inaba, the Cal Guard attorney coordinating with her office, wanted the attorneys to work on serious drug cases and trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t operate like that,” Price recalled telling Inaba in an interview with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2023, alleged drug crimes made up 4% of felony arrests in Alameda County, compared to nearly 18% in San Francisco, according to data from the state Department of Justice. Price said the vast majority of the county’s drug cases are misdemeanors that often get resolved in the county’s diversion courts, not through criminal trials. Price said Inaba provided her office with a draft agreement regarding the attorneys’ work in the office and the attorneys’ resumes in early April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11991916\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11991916\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price speaks at a press conference on June 25, 2024. \u003ccite>(Annelise Finney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office sent \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/10yZPFwURVv0Qx4seEL4KnhQT6557Wmnu/view?pli=1\">a letter\u003c/a> to Price, dated the day before, announcing the decision to rescind his offer and outlining their efforts to facilitate the state attorney’s onboarding in Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the letter, Cal Guard offered Price a legal advisor and judge advocate, both attorneys, who would work to support “the single person in your office assigned to handle narcotics cases.” Price said this referred to Nieto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price and Lt. Col. Brandon Hill, a spokesperson for Cal Guard, said the offer was for one attorney. Hill said the idea was to get that attorney in place in the office and then assess the need to scale up or down. Price said that the first attorney was supposed to be Maj. Frank Noey, who is serving with Cal Guard while on temporary leave from the Placer County District Attorney’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price’s office interviewed Noey in May, according to Hill. That month, Price said Noey went on vacation, delaying the process. Hill said Cal Guard’s main point of contact in the DA’s office was Otis Bruce Jr., Price’s then-chief assistant district attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce stopped responding and Cal Guard didn’t hear from Price’s office again, Hill said. At the end of June, Price announced Bruce had resigned. At a press conference on June 25, Price declined to say why Bruce, who was previously \u003ca href=\"https://www.marinij.com/2023/07/10/marin-files-detail-misconduct-allegations-against-senior-prosecutor/\">accused of misconduct\u003c/a> in the Marin District Attorney’s Office, resigned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce and Noey did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Newsom announced he was rescinding the offer to the DA’s office on July 10, five months had passed since the announcement of the plan. It took two weeks for the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office to onboard Cal Guard attorneys, Hill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would I have wanted it to go faster? Of course. I want everything to go fast,” Price told KQED on Wednesday, adding that it regularly takes the county months to onboard new employees. “I think that there was not enough understanding about how our office works or how the county functions. We’re not the city and County of San Francisco, and that was their expectation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly how long Noey would have been in the office is a point of disagreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said her understanding was that Noey was available from June 1 to Aug. 12 at the latest — 48 business days. According to Cal Guard, Noey would have been available for 60 days with the possibility of extending to 90. In his work email auto-response from the Placer County DA’s office, Noey said he expects to return to the county by July 29.[aside postID=news_11995937 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1322370857-1020x680.jpg']“If we’re going to bring someone on and train them and embed them in the office, I would want them to be here longer,” Price said at her July 11 press conference. “I thought that it would be more effective to have a lawyer who is actually trained and able to continue the case beyond a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price also said there was a mismatch between the governor’s priorities and her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has a focus on working with CHP to address drug cases. We’re doing that already,” Price said. “Our office is focused on prosecuting serious homicides and prosecuting organized retail theft and prosecuting home invasions, burglaries and carjackings. These are the things that the residents of Alameda County, unfortunately, are experiencing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom made one comment that particularly irked Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The head of the narcotics unit actually has left,” Newsom said on July 11, referring to Nieto, who Newsom recently appointed to become a Superior Court Judge in Contra Costa County. “So now the unit has no supervisor and actually no personnel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said the statement was misleading. The DA’s office doesn’t have a specific narcotics unit, and Nieto hasn’t left yet because his appointment has not been confirmed. Price said the statement created the impression that her office isn’t prosecuting drug crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize that we have a substance abuse and an addiction problem in Alameda County, and we’re using all of our tools to address it, not just one lawyer,” Price said Wednesday. “That was ridiculous to say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said missing out on potentially two to three months of support from a Cal Guard attorney “is not particularly significant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have our priorities, as does the governor,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/ahall\">\u003cem>Alex Hall \u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>contributed to the reporting\u003c/em>\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

She accused Newsom of acting rashly and said he disregarded how the negotiations played out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope the governor will get the facts and call us,” Price said at her own press conference on July 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom first announced his plan to provide the Alameda DA’s office with extra state attorneys \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975161/newsom-to-send-state-prosecutors-to-oakland-to-help-crack-down-on-rising-crime\">in February.\u003c/a> The plan was modeled after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/newsom-fentanyl-drug-crisis-sf-breed-tenderloin-17911401.php\">similar partnership\u003c/a> agreement made with San Francisco’s District Attorney in 2023. The February announcement was timed to coincide with a deployment of California Highway Patrol officers to assist East Bay law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was seemingly simple: The three California National Guard working in San Francisco would transition to Alameda County as they finished their assignments, according to Price. Because of limits on what military personnel can work on, the attorneys would only be able to assist in drug prosecutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Price said she welcomed the assistance, but details remained hazy about who the attorneys were, when they would arrive and how long they would stay in Alameda County. Price said she was notified of Newsom’s February plan one day before the public announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said there was initially confusion about how her office handles drug cases. The vast majority of drug cases follow what is called a horizontal prosecution model, which means attorneys are assigned to different parts of the court process. As a criminal case progresses, it moves from one attorney to the next. In any given case, for example, one attorney decides what charges to apply, another handles the arraignment of the defendant, another files preliminary motions and yet another manages the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some serious drug cases are handled by a coalition of law enforcement officers and prosecutors known as the Alameda County Narcotics Task Force. Assistant District Attorney Michael Nieto represents the DA’s office on the task force. He works in a vertical prosecution model, which means he handles cases from charging to disposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said Col. Mark Inaba, the Cal Guard attorney coordinating with her office, wanted the attorneys to work on serious drug cases and trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t operate like that,” Price recalled telling Inaba in an interview with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2023, alleged drug crimes made up 4% of felony arrests in Alameda County, compared to nearly 18% in San Francisco, according to data from the state Department of Justice. Price said the vast majority of the county’s drug cases are misdemeanors that often get resolved in the county’s diversion courts, not through criminal trials. Price said Inaba provided her office with a draft agreement regarding the attorneys’ work in the office and the attorneys’ resumes in early April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11991916\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11991916\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/PamelaPrice0624-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price speaks at a press conference on June 25, 2024. \u003ccite>(Annelise Finney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office sent \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/10yZPFwURVv0Qx4seEL4KnhQT6557Wmnu/view?pli=1\">a letter\u003c/a> to Price, dated the day before, announcing the decision to rescind his offer and outlining their efforts to facilitate the state attorney’s onboarding in Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the letter, Cal Guard offered Price a legal advisor and judge advocate, both attorneys, who would work to support “the single person in your office assigned to handle narcotics cases.” Price said this referred to Nieto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price and Lt. Col. Brandon Hill, a spokesperson for Cal Guard, said the offer was for one attorney. Hill said the idea was to get that attorney in place in the office and then assess the need to scale up or down. Price said that the first attorney was supposed to be Maj. Frank Noey, who is serving with Cal Guard while on temporary leave from the Placer County District Attorney’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price’s office interviewed Noey in May, according to Hill. That month, Price said Noey went on vacation, delaying the process. Hill said Cal Guard’s main point of contact in the DA’s office was Otis Bruce Jr., Price’s then-chief assistant district attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce stopped responding and Cal Guard didn’t hear from Price’s office again, Hill said. At the end of June, Price announced Bruce had resigned. At a press conference on June 25, Price declined to say why Bruce, who was previously \u003ca href=\"https://www.marinij.com/2023/07/10/marin-files-detail-misconduct-allegations-against-senior-prosecutor/\">accused of misconduct\u003c/a> in the Marin District Attorney’s Office, resigned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce and Noey did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Newsom announced he was rescinding the offer to the DA’s office on July 10, five months had passed since the announcement of the plan. It took two weeks for the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office to onboard Cal Guard attorneys, Hill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would I have wanted it to go faster? Of course. I want everything to go fast,” Price told KQED on Wednesday, adding that it regularly takes the county months to onboard new employees. “I think that there was not enough understanding about how our office works or how the county functions. We’re not the city and County of San Francisco, and that was their expectation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly how long Noey would have been in the office is a point of disagreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said her understanding was that Noey was available from June 1 to Aug. 12 at the latest — 48 business days. According to Cal Guard, Noey would have been available for 60 days with the possibility of extending to 90. In his work email auto-response from the Placer County DA’s office, Noey said he expects to return to the county by July 29.\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.

"content": "\u003cp>The 20-year-old who tried to assassinate former President \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/donald-trump\">Donald Trump\u003c/a> left no political manifesto and very little detail about himself online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, more details could emerge that will help the country understand why Thomas Matthew Crooks scaled a building near the campaign rally in Pennsylvania and opened fire, grazing Trump’s ear and killing a spectator. For now, the anecdotes that have surfaced in press reports paint a portrait of a smart and isolated young man, a loner fitting into a familiar mold for Americans: that of a mass shooter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Particularly school shooters in the United States,” said Samuel West, a professor who studies the psychology of violence at Virginia State University. “This is, to my knowledge, the first one of these sorts of events where all of these features seem to point to someone who might have been a school shooter, but what he did was far different from that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social isolation is a top indicator shared by the small number of young men who have committed highly public shootings in the U.S., according to West’s \u003ca href=\"https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/63xyt\">research\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And loneliness is a defining characteristic of the accounts of Crooks shared by his former classmates and neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He “sat by himself, didn’t talk to anyone, didn’t even try to make conversation,” Liam Campbell, a 17-year-old neighbor, told the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/video/pennsylvania-national-national-d42374a3279b44ecbf0bf96ec377ce39\">\u003cem>Associated Press\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He just wanted to stay by himself,” Jim Knapp, his former guidance counselor, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/us/trump-rally-shooting-crooks.html?partner=slack&smid=sl-share\">told \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Smith, another classmate the \u003ca href=\"https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsylvania/thomas-matthew-crooks-trump-shooter-id-butler-20240714.html\">\u003cem>Philadelphia Inquirer \u003c/em>interviewed\u003c/a>, described a mock debate course Crooks participated in, where a teacher had students stand on opposite sides of the room to signal their position on issues.[aside postID=news_11994184 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/TrumpPennsylvaniaRally2024-1020x659.jpg']Most of the class stood on the liberal side, but Crooks, “no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,” Smith said. “That’s still the picture I have of him. Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crooks’ political leanings are unclear. He registered as a Republican in Pennsylvania but was too young to vote in 2020. Crooks donated $15 to a progressive political action committee on the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FBI agents said they are investigating the shooting as an assassination attempt and as a potential act of domestic terrorism. The agency has yet to publicly identify an ideological or political motive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have intelligence analysts working from our field office in Pittsburgh, working feverishly to attempt to identify any motives behind why this was done,” FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek said at a press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to multiple press reports, Crooks had searched the internet for information on Trump’s Pennsylvania rally as well as the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and FBI officials told lawmakers in congressional briefings on Wednesday that his search history also included “major depressive disorder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a clear motive, Biden urged people to wait until investigators finish their work before jumping to conclusions. But if the past is any indication, it’s not certain the public will ever have a solid explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an analog, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-guns-fbi-motive-08e925cb85e52c5266878cd76e796ad2\">reportedly\u003c/a> pointed to the 2017 massacre at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. That 17-month federal investigation could not find any motive beyond the gunman’s suspected desire to “attain a certain degree of infamy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By some definitions, this was a mass shooting, not just an assassination attempt on the president,” said Dr. Garen Wintemute, an emergency medicine physician at UC Davis and director of the California Firearm Violence Research Center. “The shooter is a young male. White. Used an assault-type rifle. And we’re learning about the possibility of social isolation. All of those things fit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that these common denominators apply not just to mass shootings but violence in general and also self-harm. “It’s important to stress,” Wintemute said, “most fatal violence is suicide.”[aside postID=news_11996066 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2161942386-1020x680.jpg']Americans have become more isolated over time. Last year, the U.S. surgeon general released a report warning of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/05/02/1173418268/loneliness-connection-mental-health-dementia-surgeon-general\">an epidemic of loneliness\u003c/a>, with about half of adults surveyed reporting measurable levels of loneliness, even before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crooks’ political leanings are unclear. He registered as a Republican in Pennsylvania but was too young to vote in 2020. Crooks donated $15 to a progressive political action committee on the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FBI agents said they are investigating the shooting as an assassination attempt and as a potential act of domestic terrorism. The agency has yet to publicly identify an ideological or political motive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have intelligence analysts working from our field office in Pittsburgh, working feverishly to attempt to identify any motives behind why this was done,” FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek said at a press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to multiple press reports, Crooks had searched the internet for information on Trump’s Pennsylvania rally as well as the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and FBI officials told lawmakers in congressional briefings on Wednesday that his search history also included “major depressive disorder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a clear motive, Biden urged people to wait until investigators finish their work before jumping to conclusions. But if the past is any indication, it’s not certain the public will ever have a solid explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an analog, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-guns-fbi-motive-08e925cb85e52c5266878cd76e796ad2\">reportedly\u003c/a> pointed to the 2017 massacre at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. That 17-month federal investigation could not find any motive beyond the gunman’s suspected desire to “attain a certain degree of infamy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By some definitions, this was a mass shooting, not just an assassination attempt on the president,” said Dr. Garen Wintemute, an emergency medicine physician at UC Davis and director of the California Firearm Violence Research Center. “The shooter is a young male. White. Used an assault-type rifle. And we’re learning about the possibility of social isolation. All of those things fit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that these common denominators apply not just to mass shootings but violence in general and also self-harm. “It’s important to stress,” Wintemute said, “most fatal violence is suicide.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
