14. I don't either

I used to really like Porter until she decided not to run for a third term. She made the excuse that it was hard on her family being a Congresswoman and she faced a pretty tough race in a fairly Republican district. So now she wants to be governor of the most complex state in the US.
Swalwell is getting hit pretty hard with harassment allegations and the old news Chinese spy crap is becoming an issue. He’s fighting the release of the FBI files on that. I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s not a good look to be demanding the Epstein files be released while insisting files on him remain sealed. He was cleared but just saying that isn’t going to cut it. I’ve always liked him, though, and he did a great job during the Impeachment.
Steyer seems okay. Actually, they’re all okay and any one of them would be better than the Republicans. However, 6 of them need to drop out. It would be beyond ironic if in the year of an epic Blue wave, one of the Bluest states ends up with a Republican governor.
Bianco.is friggin nuts. Hilton has some experience in government, just not ours. Having a show on Fox doesn’t cut it.
I suspect if a Republican wins there will be another circus of a Recall.
What. A. Mess.
