California's high-speed rail project, a long-stalled endeavor aimed at connecting the state's major cities, has been a contentious issue for years. Now, in a surprising move, all major Democratic contenders for governor have come out in support of the project, pledging to sign a bill to complete it. The decision marks a significant shift in the campaign, with the candidates seemingly willing to put aside their differences and unite behind a key infrastructure project. The high-speed rail project, which has faced numerous delays and cost overruns, has the potential to transform transportation in California, but its completion has been a major point of debate among politicians and voters alike.


Democrats competing to be governor of California said Wednesday evening that they would sign a bill to complete the state's troubled high-speed rail project.
