As expected, 75-year old Democratic California Governor Jerry Brown is running for re-election for his fourth term in his lifetime. Although he's really angered liberals who hold a super-majority in the state legislature (especially from vetoing a # of gun control bills), he's been acclaimed for taking CA out of an economic recession and reviving the school and prison systems. Going into his re-election, he holds a 58% approval rating, $17 million in the bank, and huge leads over his two Republican opponents, Neel Kashkari and the dysfunctional Tea Party-backed candidate Tim Donnelly who reportedly called Brown a "socialist."
And just by looking at the Wikipedia page, it seems Kamala Harris won't run and Villaraigosa and Newsom are still under "potential", but said they wouldn't run if Brown runs. I'm shocked Kevin McCarthy is on the potential list to for the GOP. There's no way he gives up his House seat and leadership position to run for a seat that he stands zero chance at.
