Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is celebrating after Democrat Xavier Becerra’s lead narrowed to 8% in a new poll with more voters than that still undecided.
🚨 SHOCK POLL: It’s a SINGLE-DIGIT race for governor.

While many traditionally Republican states are suddenly toss-ups thanks to mass influxes of illegal aliens and Democrats from other states, California seems to be experiencing a right-leaning revolution. I’m not saying that we are already back to the time when California was Republican, but voters there are slowly waking up. On top of that, two of the most inspiring state and local candidates in the country were in California this year. They drew national attention and triggered mass Democrat panic.

One of them, of course, is Hilton. He is tirelessly reaching out to every demographic, offering common-sense policies for rich and poor, big businesses and small businesses, black, white, Asian, and Hispanic voters, legal immigrants and native-born citizens. Becerra is making barely any effort to appeal to voters, though. For instance, when the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Convention invited the two candidates to speak, only Hilton showed up. That could be impacting poll numbers.
As Californians learn about Xavier Becerra's record as HHS Secretary, sending thousands of Latino kids into the clutches of child sex and labor traffickers, his support is COLLAPSING.

Then there was Spencer Pratt, cheated out of progressing to the November Los Angeles mayoral race. His ads, both AI-generated and live in-person, were the talk of the country, and he managed to fling back on Democrats the labels of “racist” and “out-of-touch” far more successfully than most Republicans do. After election night, Pratt was only about four points behind Bass and about eight points ahead of Raman.
Even after all those weeks of “counting” and ballot harvesting, which supposedly put Raman ahead, the gap between Bass and Pratt was less than 75,000 votes, and the gap between Raman and Bass was less than 30,000 votes. We will probably never know if Spencer Pratt actually won that election, but it’s not a far-fetched conspiracy theory to guess that he did. Even President Donald Trump and U.S. Assistant Attorney Bill Essayli implied they suspected as much. The point is, California voters aren’t as diehard Democrats as Democrats thought.
That’s precisely why there’s a huge fraud machine kicking into gear in California, and Gavin Newsom and Co. are refusing to comply with ICE or clean their voter rolls. California Democrats hear the rumbles of change, and they’re desperate to cling to power.
