11. Becerra has a low key style

He has been overshadowed by the personalities of Swalwell, Porter, and Steyer, as well as the money of Steyer. I really think that this is his chance and he will receive more attention now, both from the voters and the donors. We shall see. But, as I said, I will vote for the nominee regardless.
