Days after the state's primary, California voters are in a familiar position — waiting to find out which candidates will go on to the general election in their most high-profile races, for governor and Los Angeles mayor. As he has done before, President Donald Trump used the delayed ballot count on Thursday to allege that Democrats were trying to rig the tally and keep two candidates he favors from advancing to the general election. Trump supports Republican Steve Hilton in the governor's race and Spencer Pratt in the nonpartisan race for Los Angeles mayor. His claims prompted a response from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. His press office posted a video explaining how the nation's most populous state prioritizes accuracy and accessibility over speed.
For all the fear and loathing generated by the ‘jungle” primary, and the prospect of two Republicans running for governor in November, the all…

The Senate race in Iowa is one of the most closely watched this year and the general election matchup is now set, with Democrats hoping for a gain. Iowa is also where President Donald Trump's endorsement streak ended when his pick for governor lost in the Republican primary on Tuesday. Democrats have settled on a nominee in a New Jersey congressional district that could decide which party controls the House after November's elections. But much of the focus on this round of voting has been on California, in races for governor and Los Angeles mayor. Primary elections were also held in Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota.

A federal judge has heard from voting rights groups and a coalition of two dozen states that want the courts to halt President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to create a federal voter list and limit who can receive a mail ballot, The plaintiffs argued in two lawsuits that Trump's order should be found unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the power to set election rules. The government argued the cases should be dismissed, arguing it was premature to worry about harm when the voter list had not yet been created. Trump's order is aimed at ensuring that only citizens vote, but instances of noncitizens casting ballots are extremely rare.
Democrats are trying to defend California and make inroads in Iowa in primary elections. California's governor's race is lacking star power this year. Big names like Kamala Harris and Alex Padilla have opted out, leaving a crowded field of about 60 candidates. Democrats are looking to Iowa for one of their best chances to pick up a governor's seat in a state that's repeatedly disappointed them. Republicans are grappling with a New Jersey congressman whose unexplained absence could put their already slim majority at risk. And as voters cast ballots Tuesday, Los Angeles is deciding who'll lead the nation's second-largest city as it prepares to host the Olympics.

Two candidates for California governor will emerge from a massive field of 61 hopefuls in a state primary on Tuesday, when voters will also select U.S. House nominees using a new map they approved in a 2025 ballot measure. California has a top-two primary format, where all candidates run on the same ballot. That has complicated the gubernatorial race because the number of well-known Democrats running threatens to split the vote and possibly clear the path for two Republicans to advance to the general election. Voters will also decide various state and local contests, including the Los Angeles mayoral race.
