🚨 NEW — Alejandro Mayorkas declines to endorse fellow Biden Cabinet member Xavier Becerra in California governor’s race Transcript below POLITICO: Your former cabinet colleague, Xavier Becerra, is running for Governor of California. Do you support him in that race? MAYORKAS: I am, I am agnostic with respect to the California gubernatorial race. Right now, my residence is in Washington, DC. So you will not find me to answer your political questions in a satisfactory [incoherent]. POLITICO: Well, then let me ask you a policy question that's germane to that, right? MAYORKAS: I should say there are many qualified individuals in the California race. POLITICO: Some of former Secretary Becerra's opponents say that voters should hold him responsible for losing track of 10s of 1000s of migrant children when he was HHS Secretary. How much responsibility do you think he bears for that? MAYORKAS: I know of the press reports, but I don't know is of the data. Look, I think it's very difficult for me to judge the competency or performance of another Cabinet secretary because one has to be in that position, understand the opportunities for success, the challenges that one confronts. And I don't think it's fair for me to judge over the fence. POLITICO: I’ll just say, if one of my colleagues at work was asked, ‘How do you think Alex is doing?’ And they said, ‘Well, it's a very complicated job, and I don't really think I’m…’ I think I might notice that it wasn't exactly a full-throated endorsement of my performance. MAYORKAS: Well, that's your comment, not mine. POLITICO: OK.
