If Steyer is the only Dem he wins.

I am still expecting there to be two Dems, Steyer and Becarra.

With that Steyer is going to need to motivate Republicans to vote for him in the General. It two Dems on ticket how big of a turnout can you expect from Repubs. In a competitive District, Repubs will come out, but I expect them to be overwhelmed by pissed of Dems in most Districts.

No earth shattering Props, so what does Steyer do to expand potential voters? If he openly courts R's in this environment he is toast.

Tech Bros. run attack ads for him, again, likely toast, plays into the 'he is a billionaire being funded by billionares.

Just seems to be a very difficult environment for him to win unless he can quickly jump back into the top spot and have Hilton take the second spot.
