Another Democrat exits California's crowded gubernatorial race weeks before the June 2 primary election

Former California state Controller Betty Yee has withdrawn from the Democratic gubernatorial primary race, citing low poll numbers and fundraising challenges. Her exit follows Eric Swalwell's withdrawal due to sexual misconduct allegations, leaving Katie Porter as the primary female candidate. The June 2 primary remains competitive with key contenders like Xavier Becerra, Tom Steyer, Steve Hilton, and Chad Bianco.
