Billionare Tom Steyer ends California governor campaign after falling short in Jungle Primary

Tom Steyer conceded California’s governor’s race Tuesday, saying it was clear he lacked the votes needed to move on to November.

"It’s now clear that we do not have the votes necessary to advance to the general election in November," Steyer wrote in a letter posted on X.

A week after California's jungle primary, the field has narrowed to two candidates. Former Fox News host Steve Hilton will face former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in the November gubernatorial election.
