About this episode
Gary and Chris provide live updates and analysis on Election Night in California, focusing on key races and campaign reactions.
As Election Night rolls on, the races remain tight and the tension keeps building. Gary and Chris check in live from Steve Hilton’s campaign headquarters, where supporters are energized by his early lead in the California governor’s race and hopeful that momentum will carry him through the night. The team also dives into one of Los Angeles’ most fascinating down-ballot contests, where millions of dollars in campaign spending haven't translated into votes. Meanwhile, reactions pour in from Mayor Karen Bass’s election-night gathering as candidates and supporters assess the latest results. With several key congressional races still too close to call, attention shifts to California’s newly redrawn districts, where competitive matchups and open seats could reshape the political landscape. From Orange County battlegrounds to closely watched races in San Diego and Northern California, every ballot matters as the results continue to trickle in. Join Gary and Chris for live updates, campaign reactions, expert analysis, and all the twists and turns from a dramatic night in California politics.
