California's gubernatorial primary remains too close to call as the race to replace term‑limited Governor Gavin Newsom sees a crowded field of 61 candidates, with Republicans Steve Hilton and Democrats Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer emerging as the front‑runners.

    1. We don't want cheating in our elections. You see it in California. Those numbers are coming down rapidly. They found a lot of mail-in ballots last night, shockingly. We don't want that.
    2. Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him to do so!
    1. Change is coming, and the campaign for change starts today.
    1. It might take some time to figure out where this is going. We're going to wait until every ballot is counted. We're going to give democracy time to work.
    1. I'm so humbled and honored to be moving on to the general election to become your next governor.
    2. We will not be bought. We will not be bullied. And we are never backing down. November, here we come.
    3. The people of the great state of California, in the greatest nation on earth, have spoken – loudly and proudly.
    1. Steve is already focused on November, traveling the state, meeting with voters, and continuing to build a coalition of Californians who want change after 16 years of one-party rule.
    1. We knew since Tuesday that this was a matter of overtaking Hilton. Today's call does nothing to change that.
    2. Nothing changes for us. We're waiting to see if there are enough votes left to be counted to put Tom into the runoff.
    1. As home to the nation's largest Latino population, California will once again demonstrate the decisive power of Latino voters.
    2. California has made history. Xavier Becerra's advancement to the general election is a defining moment both for the state, and for the millions of Latino families who have been instrumental in shaping the state's future.
    1. You can have Latino representation, but whether or not that will actually lead to tangible outcomes for Latino communities, that's what people want to know.
    2. There's a lot of excitement about the representation side.
