Former California Controller Betty Yee has officially dropped out of the race for governor, citing low polling numbers and a lack of fundraising support. Her exit comes just weeks before the primary election, contributing to the growing list of Democrats withdrawing from the crowded gubernatorial field. Yee, who had been critical of fellow candidate Katie Porter, expressed her disappointment in the campaign’s outcome as she steps back from the political contest. This departure leaves the Democratic party searching for stronger contenders in a highly competitive gubernatorial race.
