Xavier Becerra faces criticism in California governor's race
Original: xavier becerra
Xavier Becerra, the former US Health and Human Services Secretary now running for California governor in 2026, is drawing mixed attention. An Emerson Polling survey shows him holding a 27-point lead over Republican Steve Hilton, yet the California Republican Party's editorial board has endorsed Hilton, calling Becerra an establishment figure. Commentary has also questioned Becerra's public presence, while his proposal for free midday electricity has been praised as progressive.
Why now: The 2026 California governor's race is heating up, with polls and dueling endorsements putting Becerra in the spotlight.
