California voters face a crowded ballot with 61 names during Tuesday's primary to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. The race has no clear front-runner and includes a mix of Democrats and Republicans. The primary operates under a "jungle" system, meaning the top two finishers, regardless of party, will advance to the general election. Key contenders include Democrat Xavier Becerra, a former U.S. House member and Biden cabinet member, and billionaire Tom Steyer, known for his climate change advocacy. Republican Steve Hilton, endorsed by Trump, is emphasizing lower taxes and smaller government.
