‘A Democrat bloodbath': With Kamala Harris out of CA governor's race, an intraparty battle begins
Kamala Harris' decision not to enter the governor's race is an immense victory for her would-be Democratic opponents, unlocking troves of donors who had been waiting for her announcement and voters who almost universally know the former vice president. From Katie Porter's big moment to the field-wide scramble for cash and Republicans losing their foil, here are five ways Harris' move is upending the contest: Porter's in command: No one is poised to benefit more than Porter, who shares an overlapping base of national benefactors and has performed better than all Democrats but Harris in public polling of the race. Porter's camp was quick on Wednesday to reup spring polling that suggests she has the support of 36 percent of likely primary voters. The survey, conducted by GBAO Strategies, found that Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa tied as the second most popular Democrats — though they trail Porter by double digits. Other prominent Democrats in the race, including former state Senate leader Toni Atkins and former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, were trailing in the lower single digits. Porter, a former representative from Orange County, could face a hurdle attracting support within the Democratic Party establishment. She's often cut against the grain within the party and had few close allies on Capitol Hill. But that might not be the biggest handicap in an election cycle where voters are eager for 'change' — provided Porter can seize the anti-status-quo label. The fundraising freeze thaws: Campaigns have already begun blowing up the phones of large-dollar donors who were waiting to contribute until Harris made a call. Former Controller Betty Yee, chatting with Playbook before donor meetings in Southern California, said Wednesday her campaign was reaching out to potential contributors in the Bay Area where she and Harris both share a base. 'We started to see some movement a couple weeks ago but, I think until she really made her definitive decision, it was still a lot of people on the fence just seeing how the field would solidify,' said Yee. 'We do have some donors in common that I think we're going to definitely see some movement now in California and nationally.' State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, who's from the East Bay, told Playbook people in his overlapping network will feel freer now to pick a horse in the race. He also said he was grateful that Harris made a decision before several labor unions — which supported his past runs for office — vote on primary endorsements this fall, even if it will be difficult for any one candidate to secure the majorities needed to get formal labor nods before next year's run-off. 'It's good that the vice president made her announcement now, rather than waiting any longer to give those organizations time to hear from the candidates and to vet the candidates,' he said. Republicans lost their foil: Republicans desperately wanted to run against Harris on the November 2026 ballot. Even if they faced long odds of defeating her, GOP insiders hoped the contest would provide the party with a fundraising and messaging vehicle. 'Barely anyone is less representative of change than Kamala Harris,' quipped Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host and Republican candidate for governor. 'I've always thought that (she) would be extremely beatable in the general election.' Now, the challenge for Hilton and the other major Republican in the race — Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco — isn't beating up on Harris, but convincing voters that they are the best candidates to fix California's biggest problems, from the soaring cost of living to the state's repeated budget deficits. Bianco, who had previously said he'd love for Harris to run due to her weaknesses, told Playbook on Wednesday that his comments were simply an exercise in 'reverse psychology.' 'It was like, yeah, I'll try and convince her that she's going to be the worst thing for California,' said Bianco, 'but the reality is, I'm very happy that she's no longer in it.' Democrats with lower name identification than Harris, he argued, 'are all going to have to fight with each other to say who's responsible for putting us where we are, and this is going to be, I believe, a Democrat bloodbath.' Richard Grenell, a special envoy to President Donald Trump, previously said he was considering running if Harris got in, but didn't respond to a text message inquiring about his plans following the former vice president's announcement. And Stephen Cloobeck, a Democratic entrepreneur who is running but has sharply criticized Harris, remarked to Playbook that he 'won't have the pleasure' of debating her. Caruso is the biggest unknown: Billionaire mall magnate Rick Caruso has considered running for the office since losing the last Los Angeles mayoral election to Karen Bass. But his team declined to comment on whether Harris' decision would affect his calculations. A Republican-turned-Democrat, Caruso has been floated as a moderate, business-aligned candidate who could capture angst at the political establishment and old guard Democrats. Insiders are watching to see whether he challenges Bass, again, runs for governor or does something else entirely. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, a moderate Democrat who has been floated for the job, said he's focused on being mayor — though he didn't exactly slam the door shut on running. 'My thinking hasn't changed,' Mahan said. 'Our next governor needs to be laser-focused on holding every city and county accountable for building shelter and in-patient treatment beds, and requiring that people use them when available.' Eleni's productive day: Democrats in the race were quick to seize on Wednesday's opening. But Kounalakis had an especially good day. She received an apparent off-the-cuff endorsement from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a fellow San Franciscan. And a person close to Kounalakis' campaign, granted anonymity to describe internal conversations, told Playbook she received a call from Harris before the former vice president made her announcement. Harris hasn't said if she intends to endorse, but Kounalakis' allies were quick to tout the call as a testament to their yearslong friendship. Moreover, Kounalakis' camp emphasized her fundraising edge, with $9 million cash on hand. This reporting first appeared in California Playbook. Sign up to receive it in your inbox every weekday.

The governor's race truly begins
OFF TO THE RACES — Kamala Harris' decision not to enter the governor's race is an immense victory for her would-be Democratic opponents, unlocking troves of donors who had been waiting for her announcement and voters who almost universally know the former vice president. From former Rep. Katie Porter's big moment to the field-wide scramble for cash and Republicans losing their foil, here are five ways Harris' move is upending the contest: PORTER'S IN COMMAND: No one is poised to benefit more than Porter, who shares an overlapping base of national benefactors and has performed better than all Democrats but Harris in public polling of the race.

MORE ON HARRIS' DECISION — Harris' interest in the post waxed and waned in the months since she left Washington. She returned home to a pile-up of crises: historic wildfires that encroached on her neighborhood, a hostile Trump administration that threatened to upend the state's finances, an unprecedented clash over immigration enforcement. But her extended decision-making process ended with a defining reality: Her heart wasn't in it, our Melanie Mason reports this morning. 'At the end of the day, when she did her own gut check — to put it in the prosecutorial parlance — she had reasonable doubt,' said Sean Clegg, one of her longest-serving political advisers.

DOWN BALLOT FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: CABALLERO RAMPS UP — Now that the top of the 2026 ticket is taking shape, expect down-ballot races to heat up. Exhibit A: state Sen. Anna Caballero is expected to roll out a swath of endorsements today in her campaign for state treasurer. Among the fellow Democratic lawmakers now backing Caballero: Sen. Susan Rubio, Assembly Majority Whip Mark Gonzalez and Assemblymembers Matt Haney, Patrick Ahrens, Dawn Addis, Jacqui Irwin, Michelle Rodriguez, José Luis Solache Jr., Sharon Quirk-Silva and David Alvarez. TECH TALK FIRST IN POLITICO: TESLA'S DMV VISITS — Tesla has been discussing a California expansion of its 'ridesharing' service with state regulators — though in a far more limited way than Elon Musk is promising for his driverless Robotaxis, documents obtained by our Christine Mui reveal. Tesla representatives made time for at least five meetings with the state Department of Motor Vehicles and its autonomous vehicle chief, Miguel Acosta, since the start of 2024, according to calendar invites, emails and other files from a public records request. The DMV's exchanges with Tesla lawyers and other personnel paint the most detailed picture yet of what the notoriously media-wary company has been presenting to a key authority, while Musk broadcasts ambitions for a Robotaxi service in his former state. Read more from Christine's report. CAMPAIGN YEAR(S) FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: AIRWAVE PLAY — Rep. Brad Sherman launched an ad raising money for his campaign fund that boosts battleground congressional Democrats, seeking to help retake the House as he fends off primary challenges of his own. The video spot airing in the Los Angeles market titled 'Stop Him' focuses heavily on resisting Trump and underscores Sherman's own episodes fighting with the president. Proceeds will go to his Southern California Fund, which has raised $2 million for Democrats in tough races since its founding, according to Sherman's campaign. The campaign tested the ad last week and is launching it more broadly this week. CLIMATE AND ENERGY HOT ZONES — Los Angeles is turning against increasing density in its burn zones. Newsom officially allowed Los Angeles-area local officials to restrict post-fire housing development in an executive order late Wednesday — which LA Mayor Karen Bass immediately followed by prohibiting SB 9 applications by property owners seeking to add units to their burned lots. The move, welcomed by environmental groups concerned about fire safety and lambasted by pro-housing groups, marks a shift from Newsom and Bass' earlier efforts to ease permitting in the burn zones in the name of speeding building. Read more about the combustible land use politics in last night's California Climate. Top Talkers MEN IN CRISIS — Newsom on Wednesday issued an executive order to address what the governor's office called an 'alarming rise in suicides and disconnection among California's young men and boys.' The order, which aims to create 'coordinated statewide response to improve mental health outcomes, reduce stigma, and expand access to meaningful education, work, and mentorship opportunities,' comes as Democrats play catch-up with courting young male voters. JOBS LOST — The number of people reporting to work in the private sector in California declined by 3.1 percent in the wake of Trump's immigration sweeps, the Los Angeles Times reports. The highest rate of decline was among noncitizen women. The decrease has only recently been matched by the number of workers who stayed home during the pandemic.

Poll from pro-Nashville Fairgrounds group finds opposition to NASCAR on site
Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. (Photo: John Partipilo) A recent poll of Nashville voters on potential uses for Fairgrounds Nashville found a majority of respondents oppose NASCAR races returning to the site and favor development including public parks and affordable housing. The poll by GBAO Strategies, a Washington, DC polling and public opinion firm, surveyed 600 Nashvillians on February 13-17. It was funded by Fairgrounds Preservation Partners, a group that is advocating for the site to include rehearsal and performance spaces for musical artists, a public park on the racetrack site and a track for electric cars. Questions specifically asked about support for NASCAR and an amendment that would require affordable housing and eliminate racing. On the racetrack question, 46% of respondents said they oppose expanding the speedway to permit NASCAR races while 38% support it. Three-judge panel rules against the state on Nashville Fairground Speedway voting law When asked if they would vote for a Metro charter amendment to add affordable housing and end stock car racing, 58% expressed some support for it while 37% were against. 'Clearly, Nashvillians believe that adding affordable housing and cleaning up a polluted waterway are far better uses of this public property,' Mike Kopp, co-founder of Fairgrounds Preservation Partners. 'It's time to stop running in circles, figuratively and literally.' Debate about the best use of the Fairgrounds and the Nashville Motor Speedway has been a political hot potato among Metro Nashville's elected officials for years. In 2011, a citywide referendum codified the Fairgrounds' existence, with a majority of voters approving a charter amendment protecting the fairgrounds and speedway. State lawmakers got involved in 2023, passing a law — ultimately struck down in court — that would lower the number of Metro Council votes needed to approve construction of a new NASCAR-ready track. The last NASCAR race at Fairgrounds Nashville was in 1984. 2025 Poll Toplines SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

California Teachers Make 6 Figures on Average. Now They Demand More.
California's teacher demands: You might think, given that less than a third of the state's fourth graders have been deemed proficient in reading, and just over a third proficient in math, with test scores that have failed to improve for the last 16 years, that teachers in California would wait to have better job performance before they demand more money. You would be thinking wrong. Student enrollment, statewide, has decreased by 360,000 since 2020. Funding has nevertheless exploded. But last week, the California Teachers Association announced the start of their "We Can't Wait" campaign, which coordinates 77,000 educators in 32 districts who teach more than a million students, to "come together around a set of shared demands" which include, predictably, better class sizes, "more resources" for students, and—you guessed it!—more money. Local unions apparently coordinated their contract expiration dates so that tons of teachers contracts across the state expire this June. Surveyed by GBAO Strategies over the last few months, 84 percent of teachers say they "cannot afford to live near their schools" and 81 percent "say their salaries are not keeping up with rising costs for groceries, childcare and other necessary expenses." Of course, that state's issues with the high cost of living are felt by people across all sectors, and will be remedied not by paying public employees more but by getting government out of the way of building more housing, and by improving the nation's overall fiscal health to curb inflation (a situation partially created by…government stimulus checks). The union touts research by Sylvia Allegretto at California's Center for Economic and Policy Research, which claims that "the relative pay of US public school teachers was 26.6% less than that of similar nonteacher college graduates in 2023." This is supposed to show that teachers are in some way systematically undervalued. But of course plenty of private sector employees—those in finance, tech, and law, for example—make more, on average, than teachers (and drive up the average); there are, for starters, fewer people who can be decent hedge fund managers or quant developers than can be second grade teachers. At the same time, teaching bestows many benefits that fall outside the realm of traditional compensation: extreme job security, summers off, generous government pensions, union protection. Perhaps the most striking is that these union leaders believe they can extort taxpayers through threatened work stoppages while their results have slipped. If you want your school system to continue hemorrhaging students, that is a surefire way to go about it. Barreling toward autarky: Today, President Donald Trump reportedly plans to announce 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all trading partners, fulfilling promises he made on the campaign trail. "The top five suppliers of steel to the American market in January were Canada, followed by Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Germany. Canada has also led in aluminum exports to the United States, while the United Arab Emirates, Russia and China are far behind," reports The New York Times. China is already a huge steel exporter globally, but since tariffs are already in place on such imports, Xi Jinping has long found creative ways of funneling semi-processed Chinese steel to places like Vietnam, where it is then finished and exported. When the tariffs are applied universally, those workaround supply chains may be a lot less valuable. "Previously, the president has also pledged that the U.S. would impose tariffs on computer chips, pharmaceuticals, copper, oil and gas imports as soon as mid-February," reports The Wall Street Journal. So far, administration officials and their allies in Congress appear to be dividing tariffs into two categories: "punitive" (like those recently threatened on Canada and Mexico, a Trumpian attempt to get those countries to invest more in border security) and "structural, long-term" ones (like the steel and aluminum tariffs). These are misnomers, though, because all of these tariffs are punitive: They will impose big costs on American consumers while adding to global instability, creating cycles of retribution and reducing existing international goodwill. That Trump has embraced tariffs as a foreign policy instrument—a means of pressuring other countries into doing his bidding, or at least making a show of doing his bidding when they were already planning on doing kind of the same thing (as in Canada's case)—is a bad thing. People are about DOGE, but all for what? "To be clear, what the DOGE team and U.S. Treasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following," wrote Elon Musk on X over the weekend. "Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible; All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!; The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily." Musk continues: "The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn't exist already!" If that is in fact what is happening, all of this makes complete and total sense. CFPB sledgehammered: Meanwhile, reports The Wall Street Journal, "Trump's newly installed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau chief Russell Vought is closing the bureau's headquarters and has ordered staff to halt all of their supervisory efforts, ramping up the administration's attempt to revoke the financial regulator's authority." Vought informed the Federal Reserve, which funds it, that the bureau "will not be taking its next draw of unappropriated funding." "Picture this: a government agency that operates with little accountability, spends taxpayers' money without congressional oversight, and enforces regulations based on flimsy theories about consumer behavior," wrote Veronique de Rugy in Reason last month. "That's the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an institution so misguided in both mission and execution that it does not deserve mere reform—it should be abolished outright." Birthed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) first in concept in 2007, then in action in 2010, when then–President Barack Obama appointed her chief, the CFPB was designed to be unaccountable, the very characteristic that has now allowed its seeming demise. Beautiful! (To be very clear, this is an anti-Warren newsletter. When I see Warren-roasting content, I feel it is my patriotic duty to post it. A certain amount of schadenfreude directed at The Other Liz feels so right.) President Donald Trump told the New York Post he plans to use the federal Department of Transportation to kill off New York City's congestion pricing. New York "should focus on safety and cleanliness in the subway," said Trump, adding that "cleanliness and efficiency are good but they gotta get tough on the thugs. They can't be nice." Honestly? Hard agree. "A Florida magnate with close ties to the Republican Party helped set up the recent meeting between Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and President Donald Trump's special envoy, laying the groundwork for a major deal that would allow the Caracas regime to boost its oil sales to the United States in exchange for accepting hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan deportees," reports the Miami Herald. A new book, The Age Of Choice, asks whether having options truly makes us free. The New York Times review (with predictable concluding paragraph) is here. "The U.S. bishops' conference laid off 50 people on Friday, roughly one-third of staff members in its migration and refugee services office, after a halt to federal reimbursements for contracted refugee and migrant resettlement programs," reports the Catholic publication The Pillar.
