And it's gonna be Hilton AND Becerra!!!!!!! [View all]
Hilton, a Republican, emerged from a crowded primary where candidates from all parties appear on the same ballot and the top two-vote getters move on. NBC News projected Friday that Becerra, a Democrat, would advance.
Hilton will now enter the November general election as a significant underdog in a state where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans nearly 2 to 1. California voters haven’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years, and Trump lost the state by 20 points in the 2024 election.
Hilton was born in the United Kingdom, where he previously worked as an aide to then-Prime Minister David Cameron before becoming a U.S. citizen in 2021. He was able to consolidate Republican support after Trump endorsed him in April.
