California voters are deciding the top two candidates for governor in a highly uncertain primary. The race features Democrat Xavier Becerra leading polls, with Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Tom Steyer battling for second place.

Key issues include cost of living, wildfires, and healthcare. The outcome will shape the November general election.

- Xavier Becerra leads Democratic polls with about 25% support. - Steve Hilton, endorsed by Trump, is in second place.

- Tom Steyer spent $213 million of his own money on the campaign. - The race is open due to no major Democratic star entering.

The primary concludes a long campaign, with vote counting expected to take days or weeks. The winner will face off in November to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom.
