Xavier Becerra received the most votes in California’s primary election and will advance to the general election for governor. He succeeded Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom as the leading Democratic candidate in the race. It is not yet clear whether his opponent in November will be Republican Steve Hilton, who received support from Donald Trump, or fellow Democrat Tom Steyer. Election officials are continuing to count ballots to determine the final matchup. Becerra has more than 35 years in public office, including as state attorney general and U.S. health secretary, and argued he was the most qualified candidate in a crowded field. According to Courthouse News, Becerra said, 'The people of the great state of California, in the greatest nation on earth, have spoken — loudly and proudly,' and 'We are never backing down. November, here we come.'
