Democrat Xavier Becerra will advance to California's general election for governor, the Associated Press, NBC News, and Decision Desk HQ have projected. A former Health and Human Services Secretary in the Biden administration, Becerra becomes the first to advance to November's election. bit.ly/4vwyOef 📸: Jack Gruber / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images

1/ Thread while I sit here and look at numbers on a Friday night like a nerd: We’re up to about 500k ballots counted now since I tweeted this and the Hilton-Steyer gap has only been closed to 343k. He’s reduced the gap about 70k over the course of the last 1.5M ballots counted.
Addisu Demissie@ASDem

IIRC it was 400k when there were 5M ballots were counted and it’s 350k after 6M. 50k for every million counted is not quite good enough (headed from 150-200k margin). I’ll just wait for the next half million or so to be counted and update this.

I like this visualization. Just shows that the scale of the challenge facing Steyer and a reminder about the importance of the less blue parts of California in the race - especially non-LA SoCal. Orange County is bigger than 19 states!

Another 300k ballots counted since I tweeted this and the margin has closed from 350k to…340k. We’re at 60k raw votes gained by Steyer after 1.3M new ballots counted. Nowhere NEAR good enough. I think this thing is over.

The last person I imagined myself agreeing with, but the analysis here is spot on.
Matt A. Barreto 🇵🇪 ⚽️@realMABarreto

🚨 6/5 update on CA GOV 🗳️ On 6/4 @TomSteyer trailed @SteveHiltonx by 402k ballots. There were about 500k ballots counted yesterday and Steyer now trails Hilton by 394k ballots. Closing the gap by 8k out of 500k is not going to work. Comparing the same top 21 counties to the candidate share on the morning of 6/3 to 6/5 the support levels are very closely matching election night, with Hilton slightly fading by only 1 point in some places, holding steady in others. Steyer continues to match about the same vote share as of 6/5 that he had on 6/3. So far there is no big Steyer boost anywhere and there is no big Hilton collapse. Yes, there are still WAY MORE Dem ballots to count, but Steyer is only winning about 35% of all Dem ballots while Hilton is winning 66% of all GOP ballots. Bianco faded at the end, Hilton rose. So even if there are 2:1 more Dem ballots, Steyer and Hilton basically break even because of well, math.....

@LeftyWinter You don’t think @TomSteyer is buying up these markets the way he bought up those fake polls which hyped up his supporters. We are at the stage where TS starts saying the election is rigged. It’s over. 🤷🏽

Dr. Barreto’s analysis holds up well. The June 4 update showed Becerra gaining the most (+151k), Steyer +120k, Hilton +112k — consistent with Dem-leaning later ballots helping Becerra close on Hilton while Steyer only modestly narrows his ~400k gap. If June 5 follows the same pattern, Becerra solidifies a top-two spot alongside Hilton. Steyer stays a distant third with a very steep remaining climb, as the extrapolations indicated. Counts continue for weeks.

Some more very simple extrapolations showing how much of a hill @TomSteyer has to climb. He is currently trailing @SteveHiltonx by 402k ballots. Forecasts suggest there are more Dem ballots remaining. On e-night Dems had a 3:2 advantage. Let's go CRAZY and assume Dems have a 2.5 to 1 advantage, which they won't..... Given current vote choice patterns within each party, let's add 2.5M more Dem ballots but only 1.0M more GOP ballots. In this scenario, @XavierBecerra gains 254k over Steyer and XB gains 443k over Hilton. Hilton is still winning the lion's share of GOP ballots, so even at a 1 to 2.5 deficit, Hilton would lose 188k margin to TS. So TS could close 1/2 the gap (402k) under a very unlikely scenario that remaining ballots are 2.5 to 1 D:R. And recall very good evidence from the IGS poll that later Dem voters are breaking *more heavily* XB over TS
