California primary results keep governor and Los Angeles mayor races undecided

Ballot counting in California’s June 4 primary remains ongoing, leaving the state’s top races in flux. In the gubernatorial contest, Democrat Xavier Becerra, former U.S. health‑care secretary, has secured one of the two spots for the November general election, while Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Tom Steyer continue to chase the second slot as mail‑in votes are tallied.

In Los Angeles, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is projected to advance to the runoff with roughly 35% of the vote. The contest for the second spot is tightening between reality‑TV star Spencer Pratt, who holds about 29%, and progressive City Councilmember Nithya Raman, who has risen to roughly 24% and is cutting Pratt’s lead as remaining ballots are processed. A VoteHub map shows Bass dominating heavily Black neighborhoods, Pratt leading in outer districts, and Raman performing strongest in younger, renter‑heavy East Hollywood areas.
