共和党人希尔顿锁定加州州长初选第二名 将与贝塞拉决选Republican Steve Hilton Secures Second Spot in California Gubernatorial Primary

在2026年6月2日加利福尼亚州州长初选投票结束一周后，随着约88%的预期选票完成计票，美国媒体于6月9日对选举结果做出了最新预测。计票结果显示，民主党人哈维尔·贝塞拉以约28%的得票率位列第一，而共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿则以约25%的得票率锁定第二名。两人成功从众多候选人中脱颖而出，携手晋级11月的决选。

One week after the June 2 primary election, with approximately 88% of the expected vote tallied, media outlets projected on June 9, 2026, that Republican Steve Hilton secured the second spot to advance to the November general election. According to the vote count, Democrat Xavier Becerra led the crowded field with about 28% support, followed by Hilton with roughly 25% of the vote, allowing both candidates to emerge from the top-two primary system.

在此次初选中，希尔顿成功击败了位列第三的民主党亿万富翁、气候活动家汤姆·斯蒂尔，后者的得票率约为23%。此外，另一位得票率达到两位数的候选人是共和党籍里弗赛德县警长查德·比安科，其得票率约为10%。由于加州高度依赖邮寄选票，且允许邮戳日期不晚于选举日并在选举后一周内送达的选票参与计票，因此计票工作在投票结束一周后仍在继续，最终由媒体预测锁定了希尔顿的晋级席位。

Hilton successfully held off billionaire Democratic environmentalist Tom Steyer, who finished in third place with approximately 23% of the vote. The only other candidate to reach double digits was Republican Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who garnered about 10%. Because California relies heavily on mail-in ballots—which can be counted if postmarked by Election Day and received up to a week later—the tabulation process continued for days before media outlets officially projected Hilton's second-place finish.

在此次初选中，民主党亿万富翁兼气候活动家汤姆·斯蒂尔虽然为其州长竞选活动投入了超过2亿美元的巨额资金，但最终仅获得约23%的选票，位列第三，无缘11月的决选。在媒体预测结果公布后，斯蒂尔于周二晚间发表声明承认败选。他在声明中对史蒂夫·希尔顿和总统唐纳德·特朗普进行了批评，同时呼吁加利福尼亚州选民在接下来的选举中支持民主党人哈维尔·贝塞拉。

In the primary race, billionaire Democratic environmentalist Tom Steyer failed to advance to the general election despite spending more than $200 million on his gubernatorial campaign. Steyer finished in third place with approximately 23% of the vote and released a statement on Tuesday evening acknowledging his defeat. In his concession statement, Steyer took aim at both Steve Hilton and President Donald Trump, while urging Californians to unite and support fellow Democrat Xavier Becerra in the upcoming November election.

与此同时，前美国卫生与公众服务部部长及加州总检察长哈维尔·贝塞拉以约28%的得票率领跑初选。在民主党前联邦众议员埃里克·斯沃韦尔退出竞选后，贝塞拉在竞选后期迅速崛起，并在周五的计票中反超希尔顿。随着贝塞拉锁定第一名的位置，他将在11月的决选中代表民主党出战，致力于巩固加州作为自由派政策堡垒的地位。

Meanwhile, Democrat Xavier Becerra led the primary field with about 28% of the vote. The former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary and California attorney general experienced a late rise in the race following the exit of former Representative Eric Swalwell. Becerra overtook Hilton in the vote count on Friday to secure the top spot, setting up a general election campaign where he aims to cement California's status as a stronghold for liberal policies.

在此次加利福尼亚州州长初选中，民主党内部此前曾出现担忧，担心由于本党候选人众多导致选票分流，可能会让共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿和里弗赛德县警长查德·比安科这两位共和党候选人包揽前两名，从而将民主党人完全排除在11月的决选之外。然而，总统唐纳德·特朗普在4月份对希尔顿的背书，在巩固共和党选民支持方面发挥了关键作用。

During the California gubernatorial primary, concern had grown among Democrats that their scattered field of candidates could split the vote enough to allow two Republicans—Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco—to secure the top two spots and advance to the general election. However, President Donald Trump's endorsement of Hilton in April played a key role in consolidating Republican support behind a single candidate.

特朗普的背书帮助希尔顿凝聚了共和党内的选票，使其支持率集中，从而避免了共和党选票的过度分散。这一背书不仅帮助希尔顿稳固了党内基本盘，也打破了民主党人关于分票可能导致两名共和党人同时晋级的担忧。最终，初选呈现了民主党人哈维尔·贝塞拉与共和党人希尔顿对决的局面。

Trump's endorsement helped prevent a potential split in the Republican vote by uniting GOP voters around Hilton's campaign. This consolidation of support ultimately ensured that Hilton secured enough votes to finish in the top two, while also dispelling Democratic fears of a double-Republican general election matchup and setting up the November contest between Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra.

在成功晋级决选后，史蒂夫·希尔顿在社交媒体上发布视频声明，对支持和未支持他的选民表示感谢，并强调他的竞选核心是“变革”。他表示，选民在11月将有机会为变革投票，以结束民主党在加州长达16年的单一政党控制。希尔顿主张，他竞选州长是为了确保政府做好最基本的工作，让加州成为最适合创业、经营企业和抚养家庭的地方。

Following his primary success, Steve Hilton released a video statement on social media thanking voters and emphasizing that his campaign is centered around change, declaring that Californians will now have a chance to vote for a new direction in November. Hilton argued that voters are ready for a change after 16 years of unified Democratic party control. He stated that his goal is to ensure the state government gets the basics right so that California can become the best place to raise a family and grow a business.

针对加州面临的现实问题，希尔顿在竞选中将焦点对准了高昂的生活成本。他将高物价、高税收和官僚主义归咎于民主党领导层，并承诺将致力于减少州内的官僚体制。希尔顿指出，许多加州选民对高税收感到沮丧，并认为该州正朝着错误的方向发展。他坚信，在民主党主导15年以上的现状下，选民已经对新方向做好了准备。

Hilton's campaign platform focuses heavily on affordability issues, directly blaming the Democratic leadership for the state's high cost of living, high taxes, and excessive bureaucracy. He has pledged to reduce bureaucracy and address the frustrations of residents who believe the state is heading in the wrong direction. By targeting these economic pressures, Hilton hopes to appeal to a broad electorate that has experienced more than 15 years of Democratic dominance.

在11月的决选中，史蒂夫·希尔顿将面临极其艰难的挑战。加利福尼亚州作为美国人口最多、拥有约3900万人口的州，其本身就是一个规模达4.25万亿美元的庞大经济体，在世界经济体中名列前茅。然而，在这个被视为自由派政策堡垒的“深蓝”州，民主党注册选民的人数几乎是共和党注册选民的两倍。自2024年总统大选以来，这一政治版图未曾动摇，当时唐纳德·特朗普在加州输掉了20个百分点。

In the November general election, Steve Hilton will enter the race as a significant underdog. California is the most populous state in the United States, home to roughly 39 million people, and represents one of the largest economies in the world with a gross domestic product of 4.25 trillion dollars. However, the political landscape heavily favors the Democratic Party in this liberal stronghold, where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by nearly a 2-to-1 margin. This partisan gap was clearly demonstrated in the 2024 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the state by 20 percentage points.

历史数据同样揭示了共和党人在该州竞选的巨大难度。加州选民已经有15至20年没有选举出一位共和党籍州长。如果希尔顿能在11月击败哈维尔·贝塞拉，他将成为15年来首位执掌该州的共和党人。面对高昂的生活成本、住房短缺和无家可归者问题等棘手挑战，这场决选将成为民主党人捍卫其自由派堡垒与共和党人誓言扭转该州发展方向之间的一场激烈对决。

Historical precedents further highlight the steep climb ahead for the Republican nominee. California voters have not elected a Republican governor in 20 years, and it has been 15 years since a Republican last ran the state. The upcoming November face-off between Hilton and Xavier Becerra will decide who takes charge of the massive state economy and tackles stubborn issues such as housing shortages, homelessness, and a high cost of living, setting up a direct clash between a Democrat promising to cement liberal policies and a Republican pledging to reverse course.
