The June 2 top-two primary for California's open gubernatorial seat features a fragmented Democratic field facing two prominent Republicans, with recent Emerson College polling showing former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra at 19 percent, followed closely by Steve Hilton and Tom Steyer at 17 percent each. Trump's endorsement of Hilton has helped consolidate Republican support behind the former Fox News host, reducing the risk that two GOP candidates advance, while Becerra's late surge has narrowed the gap among Democrats including Katie Porter and Antonio Villaraigosa. Mail ballots have begun arriving, and a final debate highlighted attacks on the frontrunners' records and endorsements. With roughly one in eight voters still undecided and high name recognition playing a key role in the nonpartisan contest, the outcome hinges on turnout among late-deciding voters and any final shifts in the crowded field before election day.
