I voted for him because of his intimate knowledge both of State and Federal government, which he'll likely have to go up against even if grampy doesn't survive his entire term.
Becerra's experience is in the government as an Executive for the most populous state in the Country, and fifth largest economy in the world, plus as an executive for what was the most powerful country in the world.
Steyer, like grampy, only has rich asshole to rich asshole experience.
