Sen. Kamala Harris’ decision to drop out of the 2020 presidential race came as a new poll showed a majority of California Democrats wanted Harris to exit the race. The poll, conducted by the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies for The Times, showed that by 61% to 24%, likely Democratic primary voters in California thought Harris should quit the race. About a third of likely California primary voters who picked Harris as their first-choice candidate named Biden as their second choice. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., were next in line, both chosen as a second choice by about 14% of Harris voters.
