California’s Democratic attorney general advanced to the November general election Tuesday and was on pace to face the Republican Party’s endorsed candidate in a state that overwhelmingly favors Democrats.
Tuesday and was on pace to face the Republican Party’s endorsed candidate in a state that overwhelmingly favors Democrats.
Conservative Republican Eric Early was third, with 15%, while Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, running without party affiliation, had 8% of the vote. Green Party candidate Dan Kapelovitz had 3%. He said it was too soon to say which Republican he will face in November, but said both "have dodged basic questions about how they would handle these constitutional and legal issues if they are elected Attorney General."Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, predicted that Bonta will win in November despite his challengers’ attempts to tap into Californians’ growing unease on crime.
Levinson was shocked that Schubert didn’t do better, and said Schubert likely would have presented a greater challenge to Bonta. The outcome, she said, shows that even California’s growing percentage of no-party-preference voters still prefer a candidate who is affiliated with one of the major parties.
