Xavier Becerra Secures Spot in California Governor Race Amidst Primary Vote Counting
The race for California's next governor is heating up as Xavier Becerra has secured one of the top two spots in the primary election, positioning him for the general election in November. With over 70% of the primary votes counted, Becerra is set to face either Steve Hilton or Tom Steyer, who are still vying for the second spot. The final primary vote count is eagerly awaited by Californians. Prediction markets, such as Kalshi, strongly favor Becerra, with traders pricing his victory at 90 cents per contract. The primary election process has been marked by controversy, including a notable incident where President Trump walked off an NBC interview after discussing the California primaries.
