As votes continue to be counted in California’s primary election, here’s where the vote stands so far.<\/p>\n

CALIFORNIA, USA \u2014 California<\/a> voters had to choose from dozens of candidates in the primary election, and so far, Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton are on top.<\/p>\n

There will only be two winners, but the race itself saw a lot of back and forth in the leadup to Election Day.<\/p>\n

Early returns show Republican Steve Hilton leading the governor\u2019s race with Xavier Becerra not far behind. Some GOP candidates were also ahead in congressional contests, including Robb Tucker and Michael Stansfield.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks says all ballots need to be counted before drawing conclusions, warning against reading too much into early results.<\/p>\n

While votes are still being counted, here’s where the race to be California’s next governor stands so far. Live results can be seen in the map below.<\/p>\n
