Never elected before, Hilton’s pivot from social liberalism to MAGA-style conservatism, backed by Trump, has stunned observers. His past legacy includes modernizing the Tories with bold, sometimes impractical ideas—and now, he’s bringing that disruptive energy to California’s unique top-two primary system, where he could make it to the runoff. Critics question his policy chops, but supporters see a man who’s always been about shaking up the status quo. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
