Eric Swalwell out of the race, California’s top-two primary leaves the governor contest wide open as Democrats fret that a crowded field could let two Republicans reach November; the lineup includes Republicans Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton and Democrats Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, Matt Mahan, Betty Yee, Xavier Becerra, Antonio Villaraigosa, and Tony Thurmond, as debates and controversies shape the competition ahead of mail voting.
