Polls may be showingXavier Becerra narrowly in the leadfor the California governor’s race with less than a week to the primary.
But according to photos posted on social media, he’s still having a hard time exciting the crowds — with a “Get Out The Vote” event he hosted Thursday attracting just a smattering of people.
Five minutes past a noon starting time, a Fox News reporter shared online a photo from the West Hollywood bar Micky’s.
There were around five rows of mostly empty seats with only a few people sitting around and waiting in front of a stage that had a “Becerra for Governor” screen.
“There’s more media here,” noted reporter Matt Finn, who estimated around 10 attendees. “Organizer just asked people to get on social media and invite more supporters.”
Around 35 minutes later, Finn updated his followers that most of the seats had been filled. The final attendance count “seemed to be less than a few dozen,” he said.

Jonathan Underland, a spokesperson for the Becerra campaign, replied to Finn’s post at 1:15 p.m. with an image showing the room decently crowded.
“Full house at the iconic Micky’s in West Hollywood for Xavier Becerra!” Underland posted. A Becerra accountlater shot backat the reporter: “Cool. We can take pictures before an event starts too.”
