Ok "the California Democratic Party" (the formal entity) != "the California Democratic Party" (in the broad sense of powerful California Democrats). Feinstein was not endorsed by the former but really was endorsed by the latter.

Like yes "the California Democratic Party" (tm) endorsed de León. Feinstein had to make do with Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, the Assembly Speaker, and uh...about 28 of the 39 Democrats in the House delegation?pic.twitter.com/2GbWdqLHEj

Well, the SEIU and AFL-CIO were for de León which is no small thing, and he got lots of endorsements from the State Senate where he had served. But anyway, I saw someone say "the Democratic establishment tried to get Feinstein out!" and...no. The party committee is not the party.

Lol de León is on the Los Angeles City Council now, of course he is. California political careers have no rhyme or reason. "Mayor of San Jose, 2010-2011. State Senator, 2012-2018. Los Angeles Water Conservation District Board Member, 2019-2020."
