California holds crowded primary in race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom
The top-two system could send two Republicans to November and shut Democrats out of the governor’s race, with 61 candidates on the ballot.
- On Tuesday, California voters head to the polls in a crowded primary election to select a successor for termed-out Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, concluding a chaotic race featuring about 60 candidates.
- Because California utilizes a "jungle primary" system where any voter selects any candidate, all 60 contenders appear on one ballot, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the November general election.
- A Public Policy Institute of California survey released May 28 shows Becerra with 23 percent support, easing Democratic fears that a fractured field might allow two Republicans to advance to November.
- This contest marks the first time in over two decades that California voters choose a governor without a political superstar, signaling a potential shift after more than 15 years of Democratic leadership.
