Democratic candidates are already vying for support from influential labor unions, signaling the importance of organized labor in the race. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris faces significant challenges if she decides to run, including opposition from wealthy state donors. The contest is expected to highlight deep divisions over social issues and test California's commitment to liberal policies.
The outcome could have national implications for the direction of the Democratic Party and the broader culture wars.

I think that trump just needs to leave people alone and let people live their lives the way they want to

Good for Trump for finally standing up to the radical left’s agenda—California needs someone to protect kids and restore some common sense.

It’s exhausting that Trump is still using attacks on trans people to rile up his base—California needs to double down on protecting LGBTQ+ rights and keep moving forward, not backward.
