To the editor: California gubernatorial primary results are a double loss for President Trump (\u201cFormer Fox News host Steve Hilton clinches a top spot in governor\u2019s race, will challenge Xavier Becerra,\u201d<\/a> June 9).<\/p>\n

First, his prediction that there would be voter manipulation that would alter the outcome did not come to pass. Second, a Democratic\/Republican November matchup with an obvious outcome frees up both progressive time and money that can better be used in flipping the U.S. Senate. That, in turn, could thwart his ability to pack the House with more and younger conservatives, as well as help encourage congressional investigations into any number of potentially nefarious actions on both his part and that of his family and other associates.<\/p>\n
