In light of California’s “jungle primary,” is splitting the votes of conservatives good or bad, and what are the chances of a mostly-conservative Republican being on the November 2026 ballot or being elected governor?
To answer, mostly-conservative Republican Steve Hilton’s entrance into the 2026 California governor’s race has immediately split the conservative vote between him and mostly-conservative Republican Chad Bianco.
If Hilton had not declared his candidacy, Bianco would have been virtually assured of being the highest or second-highest vote-getter in the primary.
Still, in the hypothetical scenarios I’ve been crunching, it’s plausible that a Republican could be one of “the top two” in the primary election, and if Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, there’s even a path for either Bianco and Hilton to become governor.
Here are the “bigger” declared candidates, so far, in alphabetical order who want to replace Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s termed out:
Democrats: Toni Atkins, former State Senate leader, former State Assembly leader Xavier Becerra, former U.S. congressman, former State Attorney General, and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Eleni Kounalakis, current Lieutenant Governor Katie Porter, former U.S. congresswoman Tony Thurmond, former state assemblyman and current State Superintendent of Public Instruction Antonio Villaraigosa, former state assemblyman, former mayor of Los Angeles Betty Yee, current State Controller
Republicans: Chad Bianco, current sheriff of Riverside County Steve Hilton, media voice, former tech start-up founder, former U.K. government advisor
SCENARIO 1: Two Democrats win “the top two” slots of the June 2026 primary election (two really work hard at the expense of the other Dems), so both Democrats advance to the November election, and a Democrat will again become governor:
SCENARIO 3: 1 Democrat + 1 Republican win “the top two.” Here, the biggest Democrat, Kamala Harris, enters the race and “sucks all the oxygen out” of the other Democrats.
If Harris enters the race, expect up to 5 Democrats to drop out (Atkins, Kounalakis, Porter, Thurmond, and Yee). Also expect Harris to be puffed and promoted by California’s New Communist machinery. This scenario means a Republican will be on the November ballot.
SCENARIO 4: Two Republicanswin “the top two” (if Big Democrat Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, Democrats might simply split into 7 portions that are smaller than the 2 Republican portions), meaning there will be a Republican governor:
I’ve provided these 4 scenarios to give you hope. In 3 of the 4, a Republican (either Bianco or Hilton, both mostly-conservatives) advances to the general election. Let this energize you to support the candidate who best represents your values!
“Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” Advice of Moses’ father-in-law Jethro in Exodus 18:21
2. Ordered a stop to government censorship: The practical benefit of President Trump’s First Amendment executive order is not only to stop the federal government from initiating, participating in, or otherwise pressuring web and social media platforms to trample constitutionally-protected free speech, but importantly, it tasks the incoming Attorney General with investigating and recommending “appropriate remedial actions” to ensure the U.S. government no longer censors the People, like Biden & Co. did ad nauseam.
3. Took the first step to remove transsexuals from the military: In his long list of revoking numerous Biden & Co. orders was also revoking allowing transsexuals to invade the U.S. military. This functionally restores Trump’s 2018 order forbidding biological men who pretend to be women, and biological women who pretend to be men, from enlisting or “serving” in the U.S. military. And Trump’s policy is moral and scientific: Moral, because enlisted men and women don’t want to be in showers or restrooms with the opposite sex, an awful policy that erodes esprit de corps or troop unity; scientific, because if you’ve inherited a Y chromosome from your biological father, you’re male; if not, you’re female (source — plus see these great resources: Biological Integrity and Sex Change Regret). A second executive action, perhaps from the incoming Secretary of Defense, might be needed to actually remove mentally-disturbed transsexuals from all of the armed forces.
4. Ordered the removal of “trans,” sexism, racism, and “wokeism” from the federal government: Continuing with his moral, beneficial policy distinguishing between the two sexes, President Trump issued a beautiful executive order directing every part of federal government to only recognize the two distinct sexes of male and female. This applies to documents, forms, passports, federal prisons, and importantly, restrooms in federal buildings and on federal land (including national parks).
On this same theme, a second executive order eliminates the unfair, immoral, sexist, racist “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) policies in all parts of the federal government. It will affect hiring, firing, promoting, and spending of our tax dollars. For real family values and as a role model for children and for all Americans, this is just excellent. And yet another executive order replaces DEI policies at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with merit-based hiring practices for pilots and others who fly millions of people per year. And then Trump signed another executive order implementing a new standard to be a federal government employee: Personal merit and sincere support of the written U.S. Constitution.
6. Canceled U.S. involvement in tyrannical and harmful international organizations and agreements: President Trump is rightly withdrawing the United States from, and prohibiting U.S. funding of, the WHO (“World Health Organization”), which has devilish, immoral, tyrannical, Big Pharma values and goals for worldwide medical tyranny government. Trump is also withdrawing us from the United Nations’ pro-terrorism unit known as the “Relief and Works Agency,” which is funding and facilitating terrorism in the Gaza Strip on Israel’s coast and in Lebanon. And Trump is withdrawing us from the U.N’s impoverishing, anti-people, environmental-wacko Paris Agreement, which has the same goal of Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom — to eliminate the relatively cheap, reliable energy supply provided by oil and natural gas.
7. Lastly, I’m encouraged by one singular phrase from President Donald Trump’s inaugural address: He said he’s “learned a lot” from the personal oppression he’s experienced in the last eight years. This means he’s likely to be a better president than before — rooting out evil that he recognizes and standing on principle no matter the opposition. My hope is that Trump will humbly improve on federal judges (he nominated some bad ones because he didn’t get the advice of Christian-values legal organizations); that he will fight hard for medical freedom on vaccines and fight hardest for election integrity nationwide; and that he’ll grant an audience to former homosexuals who convince him that no one is “born gay” (because while he opposes transsexuality, Trump is still blindly promoting homosexual activists as role models for America and the world). Please pray to God in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name to give wisdom to President Donald Trump!
Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”
And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
The speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.” Young King Solomon requests wisdom from God in the Bible, 1 Kings 3:4-14

Of all the problems to fix in our country, Democrat-Party-controlled California has the worst – ranging from high taxes, absurdly high housing prices, sky-high energy prices, sickening sexual school indoctrination, the most abortions, and the highest rates of welfare, transients, crime, and destructive wildfires.
The new Trump Administration can do these important things in California:
1. Through his Attorney General, investigate, expose, and prosecute election fraud.
2. Through his Department of Homeland Security, round up and deport every illegal alien invader despite the interference of Newsom & the Democrats.
3. Using federal powers, federal laws, and federal court decisions, work to restore energy freedom in several ways for what we drive, how we cook and heat, and the costs we pay.
4. Lobby the Republican-controlled U.S. Congress to pass a robust medical freedom bill, which includes vaccine choice for all adults, including parents.
5. Do what he can to reduce baby-killing (abortions), challenge the anti-parent “trans” agenda, promote universal school choice, conduct wildfire prevention on federal lands in California, and more.
In February, SaveCalifornia.com will equip you to call and email the Trump Administration to urgently request help here on the West Coast!
