洛杉矶 美联社电——
又一名民主党人退出竞争激烈的加州州长竞选。
前州财务官贝蒂·伊于周一宣布暂停竞选,就在一周前,同为民主党人的前联邦众议员埃里克·斯沃韦尔在遭其否认的性侵指控曝光后退出了竞选。
伊曾力争成为该州首位女性最高公职持有者。但自2024年参选以来,她在筹款方面一直落后,民调中也未能跻身第一梯队候选人行列。在这场众多选民都未关注的混乱选战中,她曾试图将自己塑造为“专注解决问题而非空谈口号”或是沉稳靠谱的“乏味贝蒂”。
尽管如此,随着伊的退出,接替即将卸任的民主党州长加文·纽瑟姆的选战依然拥挤且难以预测,尚无明确领先者。伊的退选使得选票上仍有6名资深民主党人和2名顶尖共和党人,总候选人超过50位。
邮寄选票将于5月初寄送给选民,6月2日将举行初选。在竞选的这个阶段,伊的名字无法从选票上移除。
斯沃韦尔的退选极大地改变了选战格局,因为他曾是领先的民主党候选人之一。而伊此前一直排在选末,选民支持率极低。
民主党人一直担心本党候选人过多可能导致他们在11月的大选中被挤出决赛。这是因为加州的初选制度规定,无论党派归属,得票前两位的候选人才能进入大选。
无党派机构加州公共政策研究所3月底至4月初进行的民调显示,一群候选人竞争胶着:民主党人汤姆·施泰因、前联邦众议员凯蒂·波特,共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿、查德·比安科以及斯沃韦尔。其他候选人则落后。该民调是在斯沃韦尔退选前开展的。

Los Angeles AP—
Another Democrat is exiting the crowded contest for California governor.
Betty Yee — a former state controller — announced Monday she was suspending her campaign, just over a week after fellow Democrat and former US Rep. Eric Swalwell left the race following sexual assault allegations that he denies.
Yee was vying to be the first woman to hold the state’s highest office. But she lagged in fundraising and failed to break into the leading tier of candidates in polling since entering the contest in 2024. In a fluid race that many voters have ignored, she tried to pitch herself as a candidate “who focuses on solutions rather than soundbites” or a levelheaded “boring Betty.”
Still, with Yee out, the contest to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom remains crowded and unpredictable, with no clear leader. Yee’s withdrawal leaves six established Democrats and two leading Republicans on a ballot with more than 50 names.
Mail ballots are scheduled to go to voters in early May, in advance of the June 2 primary election. At this stage of the campaign, Yee’s name cannot be removed.
Swalwell’s exit dramatically reordered the race, since he was among the leading Democrats. Yee, however, had been frozen at the bottom of the field with scant voter support.
Democrats have feared the party’s large number of candidates could lead to them getting shut out of the general election in November. That’s because California has a primary system in which only the top two vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of party.
Polling in late March and early April by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found a cluster of candidates in close competition: Democrats Tom Steyer and former US Rep. Katie Porter, Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, and Swalwell. Other candidates were trailing. The polling was conducted before Swalwell withdrew.
