Another Democrat departs crowded contest for California governor

—
Another Democrat is exiting the crowded contest for California governor.
Former State Controller Betty Yee announced Monday that she was suspending her campaign.
Her departure comes just over a week after fellow Democrat Eric Swalwell left the race following sexual assault allegations that he denies.
Yee was vying to be the first woman to hold the state's highest office.
But she lagged in fundraising and failed to break out of the bottom tier of candidates in polling.
Still, the contest remains crowded and unpredictable.
Yee's withdrawal leaves six established Democrats and two leading Republicans on a ballot with more than 50 names.
