Republican Steve Hilton Will Advance to November Election in California Governor’s Race, CNN Projects
Decision Desk HQ said Hilton will take the second top-two spot as Becerra led with 27.7% and ballots were still being counted.
- On Monday, Decision Desk HQ projected that California Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton will advance to the November general election, securing the second spot against former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
- Republican support for Hilton solidified in April after President Donald Trump endorsed the former Fox News host, helping him emerge from a crowded primary field where multiple candidates competed for the top two spots.
- With 88% of the expected vote tallied, Democrat Becerra secured about 28% support, while Hilton garnered 25% and billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer finished third with roughly 23% after spending more than $200 million.
- Facing a significant electoral challenge in November, Hilton enters the general election in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 2 to 1, and voters haven't elected a Republican governor in 20 years.
- Challenging 16 years of unified Democratic party control, Hilton has campaigned on affordability and reducing bureaucracy, a strategy to overcome the state's significant partisan registration gap heading into November.
