IMHO…no way. POTUS needs to stay away.
Pratt is not maga….he has said this himself.
Pratt is not taking sides and knows if he is labeled as maga it will tank his mayoral bid.
One thing the CA "primary" system highlights is how political parties have hijacked the election system. CA or any state has the right to ignore parties entirely in any part of a state-run election. CA's open primary successfully removes political parties from a subsidized benefit.
If a party wants to hold an actual intra-party selection process, all they have to do is run their own internal private election before the public vote to provide and publicized a single endorsement. Before the open primary, each party used the state-funded election process, with a dedicated party ballot, to conduct their internal party selection. But now with the open primary, if the Republicans (for example) want a single Republican-endorsed candidate, they have to pay for their own selection process. Which is as it should be, because taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing political parties.
The Iowa caucus is a good example of how a party can do this process without using taxpayer funds.
