Show Notes
California Democrats face a dilemma in the 2026 governors race, with a packed field and fears of a divided vote. Party chair Rusty Hicks urged less viable candidates to skip the June primary, but candidates like Tony Thurmond and Ian Calderon pushed back, emphasizing choice and diversity. Newsom acknowledged the concerns, as polls show conservative Steve Hilton and Republican sheriff Chad Bianco close behind Democratic contenders. Despite the letter, Democrats like Thurmond, Yee, Becerra, and Mahan are still filing to run.
