California Governor Candidates Hilton, Bianco Criticize Democratic Rule

KQED FM Sacramento 38d37d Impact 7
The California governor's race primary could see two Republican candidates receive the most votes, potentially preventing all Democratic candidates from advancing to the general election. This situation is attributed to the state's non-party primary system, which allows any candidate to advance, and the current splitting of votes among Democrats. One candidate reportedly spent over $160 million of their own money on this campaign. Bianco, a Riverside County sheriff, is described as further to the right than Hilton and is a former Oathkeeper who seized tens of thousands of ballots from last November's election.
