Swalwell’s exit recalibrates California’s governor race, boosting Steyer and Porter

TL;DR Summary
Eric Swalwell’s withdrawal from California’s governor race reshapes a crowded Democratic field with no clear front-runner. Strategists say billionaire Tom Steyer and former congresswoman Katie Porter stand to gain the most from Swalwell’s exit, while the Democratic bench in the state looks thinner, potentially setting up a two-Republican general election in California as contenders vie for Swalwell’s supporters.
