Xavier Becerra Elected California's First Latino Governor Since 19th Century
Democrat Xavier Becerra won California's gubernatorial race, becoming the state's first Latino governor since the late 19th century. Becerra, with over 35 years in public office including roles as state attorney general and Biden administration official, defeated Republican Steve Hilton, who criticized one-party Democratic rule for California's issues like homelessness. Becerra pledged to oppose former President Trump's policies on immigration and voting rights, continuing the Democrats' 16-year winning streak in statewide elections.
