California Democrats fear losing governorship due to chaotic race with over 50 candidates.

Democrats are anxiously watching California's chaotic gubernatorial race, fearing a loss of the state's top office for the first time in 20 years despite their registration advantage. With over 50 candidates and a "top two" primary system, internal disputes and a canceled debate have overshadowed key issues. Democratic leaders worry that vote-splitting could allow Republicans to advance, potentially damaging their chances in future House races.
