Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton are leading the race for California governor in early returns, as they seek to advance to a November runoff, while Tom Steyer trailed in third place.

It may take days before the top two finishers in the primary are known.

Becerra, a former health secretary in the Biden administration, had led in several of the most recent polls, but Hilton, a Republican Fox News contributor, could also take the top spot. Steyer, a hedge fund billionaire, has hoped to benefit from Democrats voting strategically to prevent a Republican from making it to the runoff.
