In the governor’s race, Democrats like climate warrior Tom Steyer and former AG Xavier Becerra battle for top spot, while Republicans rally behind Steve Hilton, fearing a “doomsday scenario” if two Dems advance. Meanwhile, LA’s mayoral race is equally unpredictable—with Mayor Karen Bass challenged by progressive Nithya Raman and reality TV star Spencer Pratt, who’s spotlighting wildfire recovery. With only 15% of mail-in ballots returned, the final days are a whirlwind of last-minute campaigning. Over 50 candidates vie for governor as Newsom steps aside, leaving Democrats focused on affordability and Republicans promising sweeping change. This is a pivotal crossroads for California’s future, with no clear frontrunners and outcomes that could reshape state politics from top to bottom.
