Becerra Under Fire From Inside Biden Camp as California Governor Campaign Heats Up

TL;DR
Xavier Becerra, the front-running California gubernatorial candidate, faces a wave of anonymous criticism from former Biden administration officials over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and unaccompanied migrant children, amid broader Beltway tensions. Supporters highlight accomplishments from his HHS tenure, like drug-price relief and ACA expansion, while critics allege unpreparedness and limited visibility during crises. The debate blends legitimate concerns with partisan hostility, and voters deserve a transparent, evidence-based appraisal beyond anonymous soundbites as the primary race tightens.
