Hilton vs. Becerra: California Governor's Race Heads to November Runoff
—Fox News host Steve Hilton and former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra will face off in California's November gubernatorial runoff after finishing first and second in a crowded primary. Hilton edged roughly 25% to Becerra's 27.9%, setting up a rare partisan showdown in the deep-blue state. Trump's endorsement of Hilton creates complicated dynamics for the Republican given California's low approval numbers for the president. Eric Swalwell had dropped out in April amid sexual misconduct allegations, reshaping the Democratic field before primary day.
