EDIT: Looks like she's still what Californians want.
> De León's 12% was the lowest ever recorded for a candidate who advanced to the general election since California instituted its jungle primary rules in 2016. In July, De León won the endorsement of California Democratic Party at their executive board meeting in Oakland.
> On November 6, 2018, Feinstein defeated De León 54.2% to 45.8%.
- m0llusk 6y agoThat is an extreme oversimplification. Reputation is important for politics. Dianne is well known around the state and De Leon is not. If a politician with some momentum would take her on then she would likely fall but that would mean causing flak with the Democratic party machine.
