It all goes back to that funeral in 2004. https://twitter.com/blankslate2017/status/1291747419147735040

DiFi is second only to the Speaker in seniority. They hold the key to vast Getty fundraising machine. They don’t loan it out to just anyone. When DiFi endorsed Biden very very early, it induced a split among California electeds.

Neither Yang nor Pete would have been able to split the baby in Silicon Valley if DiFi backed Kamala early. The full fundraising force of SF’s oldest, wealthiest families would have backed Kamala. But DiFi blocked that path. This explains why Kamala went to Hollywood so early

It’s telling that even after Gavin endorsed Kamala, along with every California statewide official and most of the legislature, Kamala had money problems. DiFi still had the keys to the car, she wasn’t going to hand them over to her silly Governor Grandchild.
