## Resource

California's 2026 governor race is in chaos as Democrats split their vote across multiple candidates while Republicans surge in early polling. Recent surveys show GOP candidates like Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco leading the field, raising the possibility of a major upset in a state long dominated by Democrats. Efforts to push Eric Swalwell out of contention are falling short, adding to the party's internal struggles.
