Candidates for California governor and LA mayor scramble to pitch to voters in final days
Candidates are courting voters in a roughly 60-person field as 13% of ballots have been cast, according to tracker Paul Mitchell.
- California's top-two primary system features roughly 60 candidates vying to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who cannot seek a third term; the two receiving the most votes advance to November's general election.
- As of Friday afternoon, 13% of voters had cast ballots, with 18% of Republicans and 13% of Democrats participating, according to Democratic strategist Paul Mitchell's tracker. The breakdown defies recent patterns where Democrats typically vote early.
- Polls from mid-to-late May show Becerra and Hilton each hold about 2 in 10 likely voters' support. Becerra highlights his more than 35 years in state and federal office, while Hilton campaigns on "$3 gas" to appeal across party lines.
- Steyer, a self-described "billionaire who wants to tax other billionaires," criticized his rivals while campaigning in the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend. Bianco, Mahan, and Porter are also making final stops across the state.
- To win in the Democrat-dominated state, candidates must appeal to voters outside their parties. Hilton, cautious about Donald Trump's endorsement, hosts a town hall in Silicon Valley on Saturday night to broaden his appeal.
