Бывший представитель администрации Байдена выразила недоверие к кандидату в губернаторы Калифорнии Хавьеру Бесерре
В ходе дискуссии на программе CNN Newsnight бывший представитель Министерства юстиции США при администрации Джо Байдена Шочитли Хинохоса подвергла критике Хавьера Бесерру, занимавшего пост министра здравоохранения и социальных служб (HHS) в правительстве Байдена. По мнению Хинохосы, будущему губернатору Калифорнии потребуется способность противостоять Дональду Трампу, однако она выразила сомнение, что Бесерра сможет справиться с этой задачей.Хинохоса обосновала свою позицию тем, что во время работы в администрации Байдена Бесерра не проявил себя как эффективный управленец. Она также отметила, что подобные взгляды разделяют и другие представители действующей администрации. Ведущая программы Эбби Филлип добавила, что критика деятельности Бесерры сосредоточена на его профессиональном опыте и лидерских качествах, и предположила, что ассоциация с политикой Джо Байдена может стать проблемой для его кампании.В ответ на критику штаб Бесерры предоставил заявление бывшего руководителя аппарата Белого дома Рона Клейна. Клейн охарактеризовал Бесерру как одного из самых ценных и результативных членов кабинета министров, отметив его успехи в решении вопросов миграции и снижения цен на лекарства.Дебаты, в которых участвовал Бесерра, также собрали других кандидатов, включая представителей Республиканской партии и Демократической партии. Ситуация в избирательной гонке осложняется уходом из предвыборной борьбы экс-депутата Эрика Суэллвелла, подавшего в отставку из Конгресса на фоне обвинений в сексуальных домогательствах.
Ex-Biden official stuns panel by saying she doesn't trust leading Dem candidate to be California governor
Former Biden DOJ spokesperson Xochitl Hinojosa said she didn't have confidence in Xavier Becerra, the Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary during the Biden administration, to lead California on Tuesday following the state's gubernatorial debate.Hinojosa told a panel on "CNN Newsnight" that the California governor would need to be someone who can fight back against President Donald Trump, saying, "Whoever is going to be governor will have to stand up to Donald Trump. Can I tell you, after working in Joe Biden's administration? I do not trust Xavier Becerra to do that."The statement surprised members of the CNN panel, including analysts Scott Jennings and Van Jones, as a panelist was heard saying, "Whoa!""I don't trust that he would be able to do that because," she said. "I don't trust that he would be able to stand up to Trump and lead."FORMER BIDEN CABINET MEMBER MOUNTS CALIFORNIA GUBERNATORIAL BIDHost Abby Phillip then pressed Hinojosa on why."Because when I saw him in the administration, and I think a lot of people did, and it‘s people understand this," Hinojosa said. "It‘s, he was not effective in governing. And I think that a lot of people in the Biden Administration are talking about this because they realize that he was not an effective HHS secretary.""If you ask any cabinet secretary, they would tell you the same thing, she continued. "And so I think that there is a, I think people recognize this. And I think this is why Tom Steyer has gone to the top."EX-BIDEN OFFICIAL'S CAMPAIGN FACES HEAT AS MISSING CHILDREN SCANDAL RESURFACES: 'VOTERS DESERVE BETTER'Phillip said it wasn't the first time she has heard that either, adding, "What she's talking about is the real thing.""The attacks against Becerra were not about what he was or wasn‘t going to do in California," the host continued. "It was about his record in the Biden Administration. It was about his his character. It was about his leadership. And I do think that‘s going to be a problem.""I‘m not sure that the Joe Biden adjacent brand is a good brand right now anywhere in this country," Phillip added. "And I also think that the HHS situation, when you dig deeper into what he did in that role, that could be a problem for him."Politico reported that Becerra had become the "Joe Biden of the California governor's race."When reached for comment, the Becerra campaign directed Fox News Digital to a statement from former White House Chief of Staff to President Biden, Ron Klain, who said: "Secretary Becerra was among the most valued and highest performing members of the President's cabinet. His leadership on the migrant issues and health care coverage were unmatched, and he achieved a historic win for the American people on lowering prices of prescription drugs."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURERepublicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco and Democrats Katie Porter, Matt Mahan, Antonio Villaraigosa as well as Becerra participated in a debate on CNN on Tuesday.The New York Times reported Tuesday that many Democrats wished former Vice President Kamala Harris would have run for governor.Former Rep. Eric Swalwell ending his campaign for governor and resigning from Congress amid allegations of sexual misconduct upended the race and the Times noted that Rusty Hicks, the chairman of California’s state Democratic Party, "has urged candidates to ‘honestly assess’ whether they should remain in the race."Democratic strategist and former Obama advisor David Axelrod said the situation is like a "high-stakes NASCAR race where the cars aren’t going very fast, but running each other off the road before one rushes to the front at the end."
