Trump and Affordability Loom over California Governor’s Race Between Becerra and Hilton
Becerra holds a polling lead as voters weigh Trump, housing costs and experience in a race that could make him California’s first Latino governor.
- On Tuesday, California voters decide between Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton for governor, with the state's notoriously high cost of living and political experience defining the race.
- Becerra emphasizes more than 35 years of political experience to reaffirm California's liberal status, while Hilton, a former Fox News host, pitches himself as a fresh face after 15 years of Democratic leadership.
- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's demand on Monday to stop officials from counting ballots, dismissing claims that up to 20,000 noncitizens could influence the election outcome.
- Independent voter Richard Hartman seeks "balance" in the Democrat-dominated state, while Becerra warns that electing an inexperienced leader threatens the "California dream" against policies from President Donald Trump.
- With Democrats making up roughly 45% of registered voters compared to Republicans' 25%, Becerra has aggressively targeted Latino voters, aiming to become the state's first Latino governor since the late 19th century.
