Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton secured the top two spots in California’s June 2 top-two primary for governor, advancing to the November general election under the state’s nonpartisan system. Becerra consolidated Democratic support after Eric Swalwell exited the race, leveraging his experience as former attorney general and U.S. health secretary amid a crowded field that included Tom Steyer and Katie Porter. On the Republican side, Trump’s endorsement helped Hilton, a former Fox News host, pull ahead of Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. Pre-primary polls showed Becerra in the lead with Hilton and Steyer competing closely for second, and early vote counts confirmed this ordering as ballots were tallied. No major scheduled events remain that would alter the primary outcome.
