""We're very happy," Bianco said after the vote. "We got the popular vote here, right? Ultimately, our goal is to win California, and you win California with the popular vote ... Californians are looking for a leader. Californians are looking for integrity. Californians are looking for honesty. And they want someone that they know is going to be looking out for them, working for them, and that's why I won this vote.""
""Chad came into this convention thinking he had it in the bag," Hilton said. "I think we made a lot of progress this week and I think the endorsement of President Trump is the one that's gonna be decisive in the primary.""
The California Republican party's spring convention did not result in an endorsement for governor as neither Sheriff Chad Bianco nor Steve Hilton achieved the required 60% delegate support. Bianco received 49% and Hilton 44%, with 7% abstaining. Bianco expressed satisfaction with his performance, emphasizing the need for integrity and leadership in California. Meanwhile, allegations of sexual misconduct against Democratic candidate Eric Swalwell surfaced, leading to the withdrawal of endorsements from key supporters, although Swalwell remains in the race.
