4. If he can get on the debate now that Swalwell dropped out--I think that would be hugely helpful

I don't know the rules for qualifying for a debate if a candidate drops out. Hopefully, that opens up a spot for Becerra. Man, how had I not heard of him until now??? He is so qualified. He sued the Trump administration 120 times and won. His priorities are Healthcare as #1 (he supports single payer).

We gotta get a groundswell of PR going to get him more visibility.
