The R who is proud that tRump endorsed him committed hari-kari. The R sheriff (Bianco) who grabbed the ballots came off poorly, especially at a time when law enforcement is out of control. He seemed angry.

Becerra did well, Steyer was the best prepared and went in with a game plan, Porter was good IF she was able to put the bad behavior behind her. Can’t see Mahan as governor.
