"Because here, we don't agonize; we organize. We unionize,"
"We saw you fight right here in California with Prop 50. Thanks Governor Newsom and voters for taking on Donald Trump last year,"
"Our threshold for endorsement is 60%. There's a large number of candidates. It's unlikely we'll get to an endorsement, but delegates have the opportunity to connect with these candidates,"
"What I'm hearing now, there's a lot of consensus that there is no consensus. We are seeing right now, there's is nobody that's actually having a hold on the race,"
Over 3,000 delegates gathered in San Francisco for a state Democratic convention to set strategy for the pivotal 2026 election year. Delegates considered candidates for state and federal office, including eight contenders vying to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom, while party leaders emphasized organizing and unionizing. The convention celebrated voter-approved Proposition 50, which temporarily redraws congressional districts in response to partisan redistricting. Party leadership set a 60% threshold for endorsements, and leaders indicated that the large candidate field makes an immediate gubernatorial endorsement unlikely, giving delegates time to evaluate and connect with candidates.
