Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer has picked up endorsements from three California state Assembly members who previously backed former Rep. Eric Swalwell, marking one of the first signs of how Swalwell’s support is redistributing itself as the party works to consolidate behind a candidate who can make the November ballot.

Assemblymembers Nick Schultz, Corey Jackson, and Tasha Boerner now appear on Steyer’s campaign endorsement page. All three had previously endorsed Swalwell, whose now-removed endorsement page on his campaign website listed them among more than a dozen state legislators supporting his bid before he suspended the campaign amid sexual assault allegations.

Steyer also secured the endorsement of the California Teachers Association, which represents more than 310,000 educators across the Golden State. The union had endorsed Swalwell on March 29 before suspending its support on April 10 after the allegations surfaced.

Several of Swalwell’s highest-profile endorsers—including Sen. Adam Schiff, who was the first major statewide figure to back Swalwell in February—have not yet publicly endorsed another candidate.

The shifts come as Democrats feel growing concern about being shut out of the November general election entirely. California’s top-two primary system sends the two candidates with the most votes to the general election regardless of party affiliation, and recent polling the California Democratic Party has done itself has shown the two Republicans in the race leading the crowded Democratic field.

A California Democratic Party tracking poll conducted by Evitarus from March 31 to April 5—the most recent public survey before Swalwell’s exit—showed Republicans Chad Bianco, the Riverside County sheriff, and Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host, tied at the top of the field with 14 percent each.

Swalwell led Democrats with 12 percent, followed by Steyer at 11 percent and former Rep. Katie Porter at 7 percent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.83 percentage points and surveyed 1,200 likely June primary voters. Twenty-four percent of voters remained undecided.

In a March open letter to Democratic candidates, California Democratic Party Chairman Rusty Hicks had asked those without a viable path to suspend their campaigns and endorse another candidate by April 15—a deadline that passed Wednesday with no additional Democrats leaving the race. Hicks had also warned on a March 24 press call that a fragmented Democratic field could allow two Republicans to advance to November, leaving Democrats shut out of the race for the first time in two decades.

With Swalwell’s exit, if even half of Swalwell’s supporters reflected in the party’s own poll shifted to Steyer, he would have enough support to surpass both Republicans and claim a spot on the November ballot. No Republican has won the California governorship since former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s reelection in 2006.

Following Swalwell’s departure, seven Democrats remain in the race: Porter, Steyer, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, former state Controller Betty Yee, and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond.

Mail ballots are scheduled to reach California voters in early May ahead of the June 2 primary.

Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress on April 13 after the San Francisco Chronicle reported allegations from a former staffer that Swalwell had sexually assaulted her on two occasions. Swalwell has denied the allegations. The Epoch Times has not verified the claims.

He formally resigned April 14, the same day Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican from Texas, resigned from Congress amid separate allegations of misconduct.
