If they "vote blue no matter who" this time it'll be divided between the 8 different candidates. I didn't know Eric Swalwell was the leading candidate. According to AI, he was. Too bad for the Dems.

"The 2026 California primary election is scheduled for June 2, 2026, with 61 candidates running in the top-two gubernatorial primary, including prominent contenders from both major parties. As of early April 2026, polling shows Eric Swalwell (D) leading with 17%, followed by Steve Hilton (R) and Tom Steyer (D) at 13% and 11% respectively, while 25% of likely voters remain undecided."
