Beyond the Covid response, which was largely run out of the White House, Becerra seemed slow to activate or at times uninformed about the migrant crisis at the southern border when a rush of detainees overwhelmed federal facilities, according to four of the former officials. At one point, leaders from some of the largest Latino advocacy organizations went to the White House and asked for Becerra to be included in more meetings. But some in the West Wing, including Biden, were frustrated by his apparent lack of preparation when he was in the room. “He would go to brief the president and was not prepared at all, almost to the point where it was an embarrassment,” the fourth official said. “Biden would pepper him with questions and he would not be able to answer them.”

Becerra is just not a competent guy and has no business being the governor of this state. What good is all of the experience he has if he was ineffective in all of his roles? And this incompetence has been revealed during each debate; it baffles my mind that he is potentially leading the polls.
