Trump COMPLETELY BLOWS IT in California Governor RACE?!?!

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian — two California lawyers who live this every day — break down the state of the California governor's race after Eric Swalwell's dramatic exit following sexual misconduct allegations. The good news for Democrats: Swalwell's departure significantly reduces the risk of two Republicans making the top-two runoff in California's jungle primary system, where all candidates appear on one ballot regardless of party and only the top two advance to November. The bad news: the Democratic field is still fragmented with no clear frontrunner. Tom Steyer, the self-funding billionaire, and former Congresswoman Katie Porter appear best positioned to consolidate support, with former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra also gaining ground. On the Republican side, Trump personally endorsed Steve Hilton — a British-born former Fox News host and former advisor to British PM David Cameron who moved to California and reinvented himself as a MAGA candidate pushing to end sanctuary cities and cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Brian and Shant argue the endorsement may actually help Democrats by consolidating the Republican vote behind Hilton instead of splitting it with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a self-admitted Oath Keepers member who recently seized over half a million ballots from a special election and was ordered by the state Supreme Court to stop. With ballots going out in weeks and 23% of voters still undecided, Brian and Shant say Democrats need to get their act together fast.
