Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the biggest catch of the day, offered a full-scale endorsement, along with a plea for donations to help Harris “stand up to the powerful interests and win.' Warren, whose crusade against banking abuses has made her one of the nation’s most popular figures among liberals, called Harris “a smart, tough, and experienced prosecutor who has consistently stood up to Wall Street.” Together, the three senators rallying behind their fellow Democrat gave Harris a chance to try to establish herself as an early front-runner in the Senate contest. Many potential rivals are still weighing whether to run in the June 2016 primary. The displays of East Coast support for Harris reflect years of effort to build a national political network.

But one of her most formidable potential Democratic opponents, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, has worked even longer to establish a place for himself in national politics. Since Boxer announced a week ago that she would not seek reelection, Villaraigosa has been seeking advice from veteran strategists and other key figures in California politics.

Democratic consultant Garry South, who visited the former mayor at his Santa Monica home to discuss the Senate race Monday, said Villaraigosa seemed “very likely” to run for Boxer’s seat. “I think his calculations are correct that this is sort of an unexpected opportunity,” said South, who is not working for the former mayor.
