"California Democrats Rally Behind Cease-Fire Call at Sacramento Convention"

At the California Democratic Party convention, speakers called for a cease-fire in Gaza, receiving enthusiastic support from delegates. The call highlighted the divide within the party, as it contradicts President Joe Biden and many prominent Democrats. The issue has also influenced the U.S. Senate race in California, with Rep. Barbara Lee demanding a cease-fire while Reps. Adam Schiff and Katie Porter reject the idea. The party is unlikely to change its official position on Israel, and the Senate endorsement vote this weekend is not expected to reach the required threshold for any candidate.
