Democrat Xavier Becerra was the top vote getter in California's gubernatorial primary. With 91 percent of the vote counted, Becerra sits in first place with 27.9 percent of the vote, while Republican Steve Hilton finished second with 25 percent of the vote. The two will face off in the general election.
California has a jungle primary, which means the top two vote getters face off in the general election regardless of political party. For a time earlier this year, Democrats worried that Hilton and fellow Republican Chad Bianco could finish first and second against a crowded Democratic field that did not have a clear frontrunner.
