Becerra Eyes Historic Latino Governorship

Xavier Becerra is poised to become California’s first elected Latino governor, surging ahead in the November race against Republican Steve Hilton. Despite a late boost from former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s exit and a savvy ad campaign, Becerra’s rise has sparked debate — including claims of bot-driven social media amplification he denies. With Democrats dominating the state’s voter rolls and the top-two primary system working in his favor, Becerra’s experience as Attorney General and his record challenging Trump policies have energized his base. Tom Steyer, who poured millions into his own campaign, is expected to finish third. A historic win could reshape California’s political landscape.
