Summary
“But our country is in a time of crisis.”The partisan crowd cheered loudly.The gathering was the first since a midterm election in which California Democrats ran the table on statewide offices and gained seven congressional seats, a good chunk of the gains that gave the party control of the House.The presidential hopefuls were forced to wait well over an hour while half a dozen statewide officers and legislative leaders took turns at the podium.With so many waiting in the wings, Gov. Gavin Newsom jokingly referred to himself as the undercard when he spoke.He held up California as the nation’s political counterweight to Trump, urging the presidential contestants on hand to pay heed.“We are nothing less than the progressive answer to a transgressive president,” Newsom said.
