Becerra Surges Toward Governorship

Xavier Becerra is surging toward victory in California’s gubernatorial race, leading comfortably in the primary and poised to face Steve Hilton in November — a matchup analysts say is a walk in the park for Becerra, given Hilton’s Trump ties and California’s Democratic tilt. But if Steyer somehow makes it to the general election, the battle turns brutal — the billionaire poured $200 million into the primary and plans to ramp up attacks. Becerra, positioning himself as California’s first Latino governor and champion of the working class, has rallied support with Spanish-language outreach. After a rocky start — barely 4% support just months ago — Becerra’s rise exploded when Swalwell dropped out, catapulting him into a head-to-head with Steyer. Despite relentless attacks, Becerra holds firm, and with Hilton likely the general election opponent, victory looks almost certain.
