Becerra Gains Momentum in CA Governor Race, Leading Hilton in New Poll

A June Institute of Governmental Studies poll shows Xavier Becerra leading California’s governor race, with 52% of the general electorate backing Becerra and 31% supporting Republican Steve Hilton; billionaire Tom Steyer trails. The poll also finds broad left-leaning support for Becerra (including progressives), a favorable rating for Becerra at about 44%, and stronger appeal to moderates and Latinos, helping him outperform Hilton even in persuadable areas like Orange County and the Central Valley. About 17% of voters remain undecided. If elected, Becerra would be California’s first Latino governor in more than 150 years.

Becerra Holds Commanding Edge in California Governor’s Race as November Looms

Democrat Xavier Becerra leads Republican Steve Hilton 52% to 31% in the general-election match‑up, per a UC Berkeley IGS/L.A. Times poll of 8,578 registered voters (May 19–24, margin ±2%). Democrats’ loyalty and Becerra’s surge after Swalwell’s exit anchor a traditional, partisan race in which Hilton’s Trump endorsement helps him with GOP voters but is unlikely to close the statewide gap ahead of November.

Becerra-Hilton Headed for California Governor Clash as Primaries Roll On

Primaries across six states set the stage for November: California appears to head toward a Becerra–Hilton governor’s race under the top-two system, with San Francisco’s Scott Wiener and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass advancing in their contests. In Iowa, Trump-endorsed leanings faced a setback as Zach Lahn beat Randy Feenstra in the GOP gubernatorial primary, while Josh Turek won the Democratic Senate primary and Ashley Hinson clinched the Republican nomination. New Jersey’s 7th District race is likely to be competitive, with Rebecca Bennett defeating Tom Kean Jr. Deb Haaland won the Democratic nomination for New Mexico governor, possibly making history, and Montana and South Dakota wrapped up nominations for their open federal seats.

Hilton Unveils 60% Film Tax Credit to Revive California's Hollywood

California gubernatorial frontrunner Steve Hilton proposes a sweeping film-tax-credit plan that could reach 60% for some productions, with no annual cap and eligibility expanded to post-production and above-the-line costs, plus a Governor’s Expediter role and a revamped California Film Commission to attract shoots back to the state—potentially a five-year kick-start funded by broader spending moves, and possibly supported by a federal credit; the plan targets competition from states like Georgia amid industry contraction and AI disruption, and Hilton cites Trump’s endorsement.
