CA Gov election: Does the Swalwell scandal actually increase Democrats’ chances in November?

[Conservative from Georgia]

California’s primary works differently … only the top two finishers advance, regardless of party. The Democrats’ biggest problem was having too many candidates splitting the vote while Hilton and Bianco ran basically unopposed on the right.

Now that Swalwell is done, his supporters have to pick someone else. That could actually push more voters behind one or two stronger Democrats instead of spreading them thin.

Honestly the Dems may have needed this. Too many cooks in the kitchen was their real problem going into June. If Swalwell dropping out triggers a few other long shots to call it quits too, Democrats could end up more united heading into November than they would have been if none of this ever happened.

"These allegations are flat false," the Democratic gubernatorial candidate said in a post on X. "And I will fight them."

LOL, Swalwell was the front runner. Who would you suggest is a stronger candidate. It is certainly viable that those SEVEN remaining democrats will split their primary vote to the place that the TWO republicans will be the two largest vote getters. LOL, try again. The democrats put that policy in place figuring that it would give them a lock on future elections.

It was a putsch to end Slawell.

Who the heavyset lady with the entitled attitude? That’s the one the Party wants

Clearly you haven't researched the remaining candidates.

And clearly you didn’t hear the news that Swalwell was accused of rape, and you’re still asking who else is stronger right now.

Bill Clinton was accused of rape and Hillary of torturing children

By their staffers? Or by Alex Jones followers in USMB?

I see why you didn't research--you don't read. Have you managed to peruse the title of the thread? SMH
