California governor race tightens to near-tie as Hilton and Becerra surge
TL;DR
A state Democratic Party poll shows Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra effectively tied heading into the June 2 California primary, boosted by Hilton’s Trump endorsement and Becerra’s surge after Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out amid misconduct allegations; billionaire Tom Steyer’s heavy advertising hasn’t toppled Becerra, and with California’s top-two primary system, either Democrat or Republican could reach the November ballot as voters increasingly focus on the race.
