Steve Hilton, a British former Fox News host and advisor to former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, is making waves in the race to succeed Gavin Newsom as California's governor. With less than six weeks until the primary election, Hilton is polling ahead of a divided Democratic field, capitalizing on the party's internal struggles and California's economic woes. His campaign emphasizes a need for change, appealing to voters frustrated with high living costs and unemployment rates. Hilton's grassroots approach contrasts with traditional campaign strategies, as he travels extensively across the state, engaging directly with voters. His message resonates in areas like Downey, a Los Angeles suburb, where he promises to reduce business taxes and streamline regulations. However, Hilton's association with Donald Trump, whose approval rating in California is low, poses a challenge. Despite this, he remains optimistic about his chances, envisioning a 'political revolution' that could disrupt the Democratic stronghold in the state. Hilton's campaign reflects a broader Republican strategy to regain relevance in a historically blue state, with hopes of breaking the Democratic supermajorities in the state legislature.
