24. It wouldn't be impossible for Steyer to come back

Wed Jun 3, 2026, 08:59 PM

Wednesday

But, eh, I'm not sure how likely it is. He'd have to outperform Hilton in the remaining vote by about 11% to overtake him (I did some napkin math with the remaining 4 million votes).

So, again, not impossible. But there would have to be a giant chunk of overwhelmingly Democratic votes who also waited and voted for Steyer in the end. And while I and many others I know did exactly that, what we political junkies do and what your run of the mill voter do are frequently unaligned.

The average voter is really rather tedious and predictable.

But we'll see.
