Xavier Becerra

Xavier Becerra is not mentioned in any of the provided news articles. The articles focus on the upcoming California gubernatorial race, the crowded field of Democratic candidates vying to succeed Gavin Newsom, and the potential for two Republicans to advance to the runoff election due to the lack of a clear Democratic frontrunner. Matt Mahan, the mayor of San Jose, recently announced his candidacy, further adding to the already large pool of Democratic contenders. The California Democratic party has expressed concern about the crowded field and urged candidates without a viable path to drop out, but so far, no candidates have withdrawn. The articles highlight the competitive nature of the race and the potential for a conservative win in a traditionally liberal state.
