Xochitl Hinojosa, a former administration official of former President Joe Biden, has criticized Xavier Becerra, a frontrunner in California's gubernatorial race, for his lack of leadership and ability to stand up to President Donald Trump. During a CNN panel discussion, Hinijosa stated that she did not trust BecerRA and that she didn't speak to Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris about their sentiments. The comments add further ammunition for Becerre's opponents, who have criticized his record as HHS chief.
