To the editor: It’s surprising that, in a blue state like California, a Republican may edge out the No. 2 Democrat in our jungle major (“Karen Bass, Xavier Becerra high new ballot for L.A. mayor, California governor,” Might 13). It’s much less shocking, nevertheless, whenever you have a look at the way in which Tom Steyer and Xavier Becerra are attacking one another. This tactic could be regular within the ordinary Democratic major, the place the candidates run towards one another within the major after which assault their Republican opponent within the normal, nevertheless it’s the alternative in a jungle major.
In a jungle major, the Democrats ought to run as a staff within the major to close out the Republicans, after which they run towards one another within the normal. They need to each be attacking Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco proper now, not one another. Will somebody please clarify to them how a jungle major works?
