LOS ANGELES — Four years ago, Marlene MacAulay experienced her political awakening during Sen. Bernie Sanders’ first presidential campaign.
California’s decision to move its primary from its 2016 slot, at the end of the nominating calendar, to March 3, three days after South Carolina completes the quartet of early-state nominating contests, means that the Golden State will have more influence than ever in picking a presidential nominee. The contrast between Sanders’ approach to California and that of his top opponents was stark in the days surrounding last week’s presidential debate at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Sanders made the most of his week in the state, appearing at five public events. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sanders’ leading left-wing rival, didn’t make any public stops outside of the debate.
The public events for Buttigieg were designed to show him being introduced to Latino voters and listening to their concerns. In Walnut, east of Los Angeles, Buttigieg received a warm introduction from the city’s 26-year-old mayor, Andrew Rodriguez. But Rodriguez clarified afterward that he hadn’t endorsed Buttigieg — he was still thinking about Biden, too.
One of the officials Sanders courted this year was Reggie Jones-Sawyer, a state assemblyman from South Los Angeles. Jones-Sawyer had been an enthusiastic supporter of Clinton in 2016 — a Little Rock native, he has deep roots with the Clintons — and had in May endorsed Sen. Kamala Harris of California for the 2020 presidential nomination.
“I would imagine Bernie had a lot more high-level applicants this time. We were making half the stuff up as we went along,” Gonzalez said, using a more pungent word than stuff.
