Porter, Hilton lead in wide-open California governor’s race: Poll

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

California has a real shot at electing its first Republican governor in 20 years. Steve Hilton is a phenomenal candidate. I've been following him on X and he really drives home the problems facing the state and he does it in a non-controversial way. It will obviously be a tough battle being a state so heavily Democratic and being a midterm election that will likely favor Democrats, but Los Angeles came within four points of electing a de facto Republican mayor not that long ago, so it's doable. I think the lawlessness and homeless problems are finally hitting home with a lot of traditionally Democratic communities.

Democratic former Rep. Katie Porter (Calif.) and Republican former Fox News host Steve Hilton are at the top of California’s primary for governor, new polling shows, after Vice President Harris decided against a bid.

Emerson College Polling found Porter in the lead with 18 percent support, followed by Hilton at 12 percent. In California’s nonpartisan system, the top two candidates move on from the primary to the general, regardless of party affiliation.

Republican Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, Democrat former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Republican-turned-Democrat Rick Caruso were next up, with 7, 5 and 4 percent, respectively.

The rest of the field, including Former Biden Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra, Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis (D) and former state Controller Betty Yee (D), earned just 3 percent or less each.

Interesting.

California won't be electing a Republican. It is time you Republicans started looking at some truths, most notably is that Trump is a millstone around the neck of any Republican running for office..

You don’t shit on a state and win it. Guaranteed.

It depends.

He might be another Arnold Swartzenegger, which is tantamount to another democrat

Even at that, the entire government was opposed Arnold when he was in office like they do Trump today.

Arnold did some things that messed up the state. Trump didn't control the party then either.

Katie Porker is a terrible choice. She's so bad, her husband campaigned against her.

I think democrats sit around wagering if they can get the worst possible candidates elected, knowing they have full control over the media to do it.

It's a sick game they play.

I would never say never. Vermont, a state as liberal as California, has a very popular Republican governor. The question is is Steve Hilton a moderate or a MAGA nut? If he is moderate or in the mold of an old-line conservative, he probably has a good chance of being elected governor.

I was in her district. She did nothing but stuff her face and loudly abuse her staff.

I don’t make predictions but I would be less surprised to wake up and find my head sewn to the carpet than I would if a Republican wins a statewide election in California.

If he is not Trumpy and much like Reagan, he has a shot.

What is the mental block that prevents dems from finding an old-fashioned Blue Dog dem?

Have they so hounded and tormented them that they all went gop? I think there are only 10 of them in congress today and they are not really the Blue dogs of the 90s.

He would lose four of them if the election were next Tuesday.

Enough of this. It changes nothing.
