Summary
California Democrats are reportedly concerned that the state’s jungle primary system could lead to two Republicans advancing to the November ballot. The party’s crowded and “uninspiring” field of candidates may split the vote, allowing Republicans to advance. Polling shows former Fox News host Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco leading, followed by Rep. Eric Swalwell and former Rep. Katie Porter. The concern comes as Democrats gather for their state party convention, where candidates will make their case to party activists ahead of the June primary.
