California gubernatorial hopeful Steve Hilton used a national radio platform on Tuesday to tamp down expectations among Republicans about the states upcoming primary contest.
Speaking on The Alex Marlow Show, Hilton pushed back on optimistic chatter within GOP circles, warning that some on the right are misreading Californias political landscape, according to Breitbart. Hilton said, A lot of people have been saying, were going to get two Republicans in the top two. I always said, and youve heard Ive said it to you, thats a fantasy. Thats never going to happen.
His remarks underscored a sober assessment of Californias deep-blue electorate, where Democrats have long benefited from one-party rule, high taxation, and expansive regulation that conservatives argue are driving residents and businesses out of the state. For Republicans hoping to restore balance and accountability in Sacramento, Hiltons comments served as a reminder that winning even a single spot in the states top-two primary system remains a steep but necessary climb.
