With 9 candidates in race to replace Newsom, California Dems fail to make an endorsement

BILLIONAIRE GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE Tom Steyer called on the crowd to tax people like him more, while one of his competitors, Rep. Eric Swalwell, said the California governor’s most important job should be to “keep Donald Trump and ICE out of our streets and out of our lives.” 

Eight of the nine Democrats vying for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s seat made their pitch at the California Democratic Party convention Saturday, during a marathon weekend of meeting, greeting, wining and dining as they wooed thousands of Democratic delegates in San Francisco.
