Trump Endorses Steve Hilton in California Governor Race

Trump said Hilton has his “complete and total endorsement” as polls show the Republican frontrunner could gain an edge in the crowded race.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump endorsed Republican Steve Hilton for California governor, seeking to influence the wide-open race to replace outgoing Governor Gavin Newsom.
  • California's 'top-two' primary system on June 2 allows the two highest vote-getters to advance, fueling Democratic fears that a crowded field could leave them excluded from the November general election.
  • A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll shows Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco leading, with 17% and 16% support respectively, ahead of several prominent Democratic contenders.
  • The president's "COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT" could supercharge Hilton's momentum heading into this weekend's state GOP convention, potentially helping him secure the party nod over rival Bianco.
  • Hilton, a former Fox News host and British immigrant, has focused his campaign on crime and high taxes, promising to improve the state with federal assistance from the Trump administration.
