Trump-backed Republican Steve Hilton expressed confidence Tuesday as California Republicans fight to avoid being shut out of the governor’s race under the state’s unique “jungle-primary” system.<\/p>\n

Hilton is one of two main Republicans in the race, alongside Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.<\/p>\n

After Hilton received President Donald Trump\u2019s endorsement, his neck-and-neck position with Bianco became a lead, but as the election neared, concern arose that two Democrats may outdo he and the sheriff \u2013 leaving no Republican on the ballot,<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited that it looks like we’re going to have a good night tonight,” Hilton said.<\/p>\n

“I think the president’s endorsement has been a great honor. The vice president endorsed me this morning. What an incredible thing for someone who’s a new American citizen,” the former Fox News host \u2013 a native of Great Britain \u2013 added.<\/p>\n

Hilton portended a good night regardless of Bianco\u2019s decision to stay in the race.<\/p>\n

“I think everyone in California understands we need change,” he said.<\/p>\n

Hilton said California Republicans \u2013 of which there are more numerically than any other state \u2013 are energized and that the early ballot returns depict such.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m pretty confident that we are going to do fine one way or the other.”<\/p>\n

The mood extended beyond the governor’s race. In Los Angeles, independent mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt spent Election Day courting voters in neighborhoods Republicans and independents increasingly see as receptive to change.<\/p>\n

Pratt was spotted at the famed Roscoe\u2019s Chicken & Waffles, mingling with voters at the soul food establishment \u2013 and also seen in another clip hosting a cookout in a park in a majority-minority community.<\/p>\n

With Gov. Gavin Newsom term-limited and Mayor Karen Bass under fire for her handling of crime, homelessness and the Palisades fires, Republicans and Pratt see an opportunity for marked change in California.<\/p>\n

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger \u2013 who like Hilton is an immigrant and Republican \u2013 was the last member of the Grand Old Party to hold court in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
