When this crossed my internet transom this morning, I almost spit out my coffee. Among the useless sycophants from California who were brought into the Biden administration, there is none more useless than Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Apparently, others in the White House feel the same. In an Axios exclusive about the turmoil in the administration surrounding their failure at the southern border, Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice reportedly called Becerra a "bitch ass" and an "idiot."

Rice is not wrong. However, this is not stopping Becerra from harboring delusions of grandeur. The man who probably could not run a mile thinks he can run a state.

Another one of satans minions who wants to run for governor of California. That is an absolute HELL NO for me. @XavierBecerra https://t.co/GoKavPhwCv

I'm with Cartel California. Not today, Satan! Not on my watch.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra is considering leaving the Biden administration to mount a run for California governor in 2026, people briefed on his deliberations told POLITICO.

Becerra and supporters have had conversations over the past weeks where the secretary and former California attorney general indicated to fellow Democratic officials and operatives that he would leave Washington after the November election and join the crowded field to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom in two years.

Becerra supporters?! <*falls off the chair laughing. Picks herself up off the floor.*> Becerra has been a useful tool since his days in the California Assembly, and like all of Biden's California contingent, he has failed up spectacularly. He has no supporters, only flacks hanging on to his coattails, hoping to get a free ride.

The people were granted anonymity to describe private conversations, which they characterized as more serious in recent weeks.

More accurately, Becerra pushed certain staffers to start a whisper campaign. Condition of anonymity, my fanny.

Becerra has parked nearly $1.55 million that’s usable in the governor’s race in a committee for Superintendent of Public Instruction in 2030.

For those not familiar with the California political mambo, useful apparatchiks like Becerra create these committees to collect campaign funds. They may or may not run for office, but having a convenient slush fund on hand is always important. And you wonder why California politics is so corrupt.

In San Francisco, I got a chance to visit @welcometomannys, a place for community and for changemakers, to highlight the game-changing three years we’ve had under @POTUS.

It was at this San Francisco "Manny's" event where Becerra started dropping hints.

“I miss California,” Becerra said at the start of a talk at Manny’s in the Mission, a watering hole for political types.

Becerra later smiled and nodded silently when someone in the audience yelled “governor!” as he paused between questions.

Of course, Becerra needed to play coy and look as though he is still a loyal Biden soldier, when he reads the same polls that everyone else does. According to the whisper campaign, he will wait until after the 2024 election to lick his finger and stick it in the wind.

When asked by POLITICO after the event if he planned to run, Becerra sidestepped the question.

“It’s a blessing to hear that someone is saying that I’m running for governor because I don’t know who they are,” Becerra said. “I am secretary of HHS and, by law, I have to be secretary of HHS and nothing else. So I’m gonna do my job as best I can. It’s a thrill, I think my mom would be happy to hear that someone thinks I can run for governor as well,” he said.

When pressed, Becerra said he wasn’t making calls to supporters and then an aide abruptly cut off the questioning.

Becerra has competition, of course. Every progressive politico wants the chance to finish the destruction wrought by Gavin Newsom. Some of them don't have a snowball's chance in hell, while others could easily buy their way in. The current California Lt. Gov, Eleni Kounalakis, declared and started fundraising early last year, as has Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. Democrat State Senator and Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins has also made noises, along with former Controller Betty Yee, who turned a blind eye to that ballooning California deficit. Attorney General Rob Bonta has also alluded to running, but aside from preening for the cameras, his lackluster record includes more failed lawsuits that only add to the state's budget hole. 

Outside of the bubbles of D.C. and San Francisco, Becerra doesn't have the record he thinks he does. As HHS Secretary, Becerra has overseen the most draconian and vindictive of Biden's policies, including lawsuits against states that have banned puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for minors and pushed government agents going door-to-door to administer the COVID vaccine. 

It was no joke then, and it especially is no joke now, in light of all we know about what was done by the Biden administration to restrict proven medical interventions, squelch scientists, medical professionals, and others who were speaking the truth about the COVID response, and the harms from the vaccine. In October 2021, Becerra went on a rant during MSNBC's “Andrea Mitchell Reports” about the "selfish"  unvaccinated.

Earlier in 2021, Becerra let everyone know that it is "absolutely the government's business" whether Americans have been vaccinated or not.

Mmmmkay.

Lest we forget, Becerra also helped institute cuts to the Medicare Advantage program. California seniors, like seniors across the rest of the nation, are none too pleased and have suffered as a result. Just like in California, Becerra's most prominent role has been as a convenient attack dog. HHS has sued religious hospitals and organizations that would not allow their doctors to prescribe the abortion pill and who would not co-sign transgender surgeries on minors. 

Three years is not enough time for Becerra to distance himself from his terrible record as California Attorney General either. He worked overtime in 2020 to suppress the already limited GOP vote, filed an anti-trust lawsuit against a hospital concern that was not their preferred provider in the state (that would be Kaiser Permanente), which compromised access to healthcare for the poor and underserved, and racked up $21 million worth of state debt over lawsuits against the Trump administration, because, Orange Man Bad. All that debt was passed on to the California taxpayer; now you know why the state is $73 billion and counting in the hole. 

So, Hell, to the No, Becerra should not be anywhere near the California governorship or any position of leadership ever again. Should he even attempt to run, expect the California contingent on this site and the good citizens of California to vociferously oppose him and call him out.
