"Trump stated that California has 'gone to hell' and emphasized that with federal help and a great governor like Steve Hilton, the state can be better than ever before."
"Bonta argued that the president does not have authority over the time, place, and manner of elections in the states, highlighting the legal challenges posed by Trump's executive order."
Trump endorsed Steve Hilton on Truth Social, praising him as a capable leader who could improve California's situation. He criticized the state's high taxes and stated that with federal assistance, Hilton could make California better. The endorsement aims to consolidate conservative support ahead of the June 2 primary. However, Trump's unpopularity in California could pose challenges for Hilton in a general election against a Democrat. California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against Trump's executive order regarding mail voting, claiming it represents an overreach of presidential authority.
