Steve Hilton Targets Xavier Becerra in California Governor Race

Steve Hilton has launched a new campaign ad aimed at former Biden administration official Xavier Becerra as California’s governor race moves toward the November general election. The 55second spot portrays Becerra as a longtime career politician and links him to California’s Democratic leadership, while highlighting issues such as homelessness, the state’s highspeed rail project, and his tenure as health and human services secretary. The ad comes as ballot counting continues in California’s primary. According to AP totals, Becerra led with 26.8% of the vote, followed closely by Hilton at 26.4% and Democrat Tom Steyer at 21.1%.
