As to the idea that the Swalwell accusers "conveniently timed" their accusations to interfere with the election.

2. Only Dems who qualified for debate are Katie Porter, Swalwell, and Steyer

The Democrats need to rally around a candidate and fast. I actually like Xavier Becerra, but he didn't qualify for the debate, so it's going to be hard for him to gain traction. I don't think Katie Porter has a chance, she is not likeable. Steyer is not a good choice either.

I hadn't even heard of Xavier Becerra until all the recent press about Swalwell started coming out. I went to his "about me" page and, dang, I wish he'd been promoted as a candidate earlier. He helped to draft some of the ACA, fought to expand ACA, and he came out in support of Joe Biden when so many other Democrats were turning on him (something I admire as it shows he wasn't afraid of taking the less popular route).

Here is his bio: https://www.xavierbecerra2026.com/bio/

I will end up voting for whoever I think is going to be one of the top two candidates, if it looks like Becerra doesn't stand a chance in the primary, then I'll vote for who does. I just don't want the choices to be two Republicans. Ugh.

NOTE: I wonder if Swalwell dropping out will allow them to add another candidate to the debate?
