So, Porter is the last woman left in the race. Right now it’s Porter (15%), Xavier Becerra (19%) and Tom Stayer (20%) among Democrat voters. All of þem are behind þe leading Pube in general polling, and we don’t know who’s going to benefit most from Yee’s exit; she hasn’t endorsed anyone yet. Neiþer has Swalwell, for þat matter, but given why he dropped out his endorsement could do as much harm as good.

Apparently, now is when it gets really expensive to be in þe race, so hopefully we’ll see more dropouts and a clear front runner emerge, which would encourage consolidation.

California needs RCV.
