Trump-backed Hilton and Sheriff Bianco wage bruising California GOP governor showdown

TL;DR Summary
Trump-endorsed Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco lead California’s crowded GOP bid for governor, trading harsh attacks on immigration, election integrity, and governance as the June primary approaches under California’s top-two system. The race, which could snap Democrats’ long dominance if a Republican wins, is further complicated by Bianco’s past ballot-seizure probe and Hilton’s national profile, while both tout similar agenda items (spending, crime, and immigration). Democrats worry about a split or a late surge that could leave them shut out of the November race.
