One candidate for California governor has officially advanced to the general election in November: Democrat Xavier Becerra, the former secretary of health and human services in the Biden administration.
Becerra, who was also California’s attorney general and a congressman, advanced after Tuesday’s jungle primary with 26.7 percent of the vote, the Associated Press reported. As of publication, 67 percent of ballots had been counted.
“California has spoken loudly and proudly,” Becerra said in a video after the AP call.
