Governor Gavin Newsom has expressed his support for Democrats in the race to replace him, as concerns grow over the state’s top-two primary system potentially locking Democrats out of the general election. There are now eight main candidates polling at least 1% and raising over $1 million. Two Republicans are leading the pack, raising concerns about the possibility of Democrats being excluded from the general election in November. Many voters remain undecided. “I’m supporting a Democrat in the runoff, and I look forward to the voters making that decision very shortly. Do you think there will be one? Absolutely confident of that,” Newsom said. Tonight marks the beginning of a series of debates over the next few weeks as the race heats up. The debate begins at 7 p.m. and you can watch in on YouTube.
