## Resource

California’s gubernatorial primary heats up as top Democratic contenders battle it out in final days before polls close. Xavier Becerra stays confident, framing the race as one fought from underdog status; billionaire Tom Steyer pours in $216M, touting independence from big donors. Mayor Matt Mahan positions himself as the sensible choice, while Congresswoman Katie Porter pitches tax breaks for middle-income families. But turnout may lag, warns former Mayor Willie Brown — with too many candidates and no clear superstar to rally voters behind. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
