ABC7 News Insider Phil Matier talked about the significance of so many California power-players in the spotlight.

"What we have here is a situation and a rollercoaster that we've never seen before. We have a candidate from California from San Francisco - Kamala Harris. We have a Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi who engineered or helped engineer Joe Biden's exit to Kamala Harris. And we have Gavin Newsom a rising star who's going to take the California delegation and put it over the top with Kamala Harris, somebody who he has been in a sibling competition with sort of for more than 20 years. And so there's a lot of drama going on on the floor and behind the stage," Matier said.
