California governor’s race remains too close to call as vote-counting continues

Experts warn primary vote-counting could go on for days in governor’s race, LA mayoral race and congressional races

Three days after Californians headed to the polls, key races in the primary election remained too close to call and experts warned the counting could continue for days.

In the governor’s race, the British-born conservative pundit Steve Hilton was narrowly leading with an estimated 60% of ballots counted by Friday morning. Xavier Becerra, a former US health and human services secretary under Joe Biden, followed closely behind, and billionaire Tom Steyer trailed behind the pair. The top two vote-getters will advance to the general election in November.
