Becerra sees momentum, money and movement in the polls in governor's race

Xavier Becerra, a former Cabinet secretary in President Biden’s administration, appears to be surging in the wildly unsettled California governor’s race.

Until recently, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary had been mired in the single digits in polling to replace termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom and lead the nation’s most populous state.

But after former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin) dropped out of the race earlier this month amid accusations of sexual assault and other misconduct, Becerra has seen a boost in polls, fundraising and endorsements.

On Tuesday, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas endorsed Becerra alongside 14 Democratic members of the legislative body.

to get resurrected.

Becerra is not implicated in any theft, but the scandal really hurt him early in the campaign because it brought up oversight inadequacies on Becerra’s part. Slowed down his getting going. Hopefully, his campaign has prepped for this eventuality.
