Democrats Have ‘Break-the-Glass’ Plan for California

“Gavin Newsom said he’s confident at least one Democrat will advance from California’s June gubernatorial primary, hinting at a ‘break-the-glass’ contingency plan as he declined — yet again — to endorse in the race,” Politico reports. 

Newsom “alluded to behind-the-scenes efforts to rally people. He did not specify his activities, but the Democratic Governors Association recently began sending mail highlighting Republican Steve Hilton as a fierce conservative. The ostensible opposition campaign could drive GOP voters to Hilton, ensuring he consolidates the party’s voters and saps the support of the other Republican candidate, Chad Bianco, enough to keep him from finishing in the top two.”
