Xavier Becerra Advances in California Governor’s Race
California voters are awaiting final results in the governor’s race, with former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra projected to advance to the general election. According to CalMatters, Becerra secured enough votes to move forward, marking a significant milestone as he would become the state’s first Latino governor since 1875, when Republican Romualdo Pacheco held the position.
Republican Steve Hilton Remains in Second Place
Republican candidate Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host, maintained a strong position in the race, trailing Becerra. However, the race remains competitive, with billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer, a Democrat, gaining ground. As of recent updates, Steyer had 22.4% of the vote, while Hilton held 25.1%, according to election data.
