Episode Details

Steve Hilton is projected to clinch the second spot in California’s top-two gubernatorial primary, narrowly trailing Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer in a razor-thin race. With former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra already locked in, Hilton’s victory hinges on final ballot tallies — a process delayed so long it’s drawn criticism from the candidate himself. While Decision Desk HQ has called it, the AP hasn’t yet officially confirmed, and Hilton’s still holding off on celebration — though he’s already planning a well-earned beer once the dust settles. This election underscores just how intricate and prolonged California’s vote counting can be, where every ballot matters and patience is tested.
