I’m calling it for Bacerra as the new governor.
It’ll be Eleni, unfortunately. It’s already long been decided by the Dem establishment and her billionaire father.
She dropped out, still going with Bacerra.
I’d like to see Katie Porter, but we’ll see.
Money doesn’t necessarily dictate the winner, see:
Meg Whitman vs. Jerry Brown in 2010.

Or Carly Fiorina vs. Barbara Boxer in the Senate the same year.
Whitman and Fiorina both are Republicans. They didn’t stand a chance. I wish Porter would win but Eleni is the establishment “chosen one”. Look at the endorsements:
Maybe, I think a push for Hispanic representation will be a stronger force with the deportations and Baccera has better qualifications.
The last Hispanic governor of California was in like 1899, so that is a pretty strong bit of leverage in a state with a 40% Hispanic population.
