Last week, President Donald Trump endorsed businessman Steve Hilton in the California gubernatorial race. This endorsement is pushing undecided Republican voters towards Hilton and draining voters from the other Republican candidate, Chad Bianco. In California, the top two candidates from the primary, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the November election. For a while, there was a chance that the ticket could be two Republicans. By endorsing Hilton at this time, Trump may have upended an opportunity for Republicans to lock Democrats out of the November election.
