03 June 2026 08:35

California's governor race remains too close to call as vote counting continues. Republican Steve Hilton leads with 27.5%, followed by Democrat Xavier Becerra at 25%, and Democrat Tom Steyer at 19%.

The Shasta County supervisor race is also tight, with Francescut leading Curtis. Key facts: - Hilton leads with 27.5% of the vote - Becerra close behind at 25% - Steyer trails in third at 19% - Shasta County race narrows as more ballots are counted.

The final outcome may take days or weeks as counties process mail-in and provisional ballots. Under California's top-two primary system, the top two candidates will advance to the November general election.
