00:02President Trump is jumping into the California governor's race, giving his full endorsement to Republican candidate Steve Hilton.
00:09In a Truth Social post early this morning, Trump praised Hilton and said he can turn California around, promising federal
00:16support if he wins.
00:18Hilton is a former Fox News host and political advisor in the UK, now running in a crowded field to
00:24replace Governor Gavin Newsom.
00:26He's competing against another Republican, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, along with several Democratic candidates in California's open primary.
00:35Trump's backing could reshape the Republican side of the race, but it may also make it harder for two Republicans
00:42to advance to the general election.
00:44Political analysts say the endorsement could also shift strategy for Democrats, who may no longer need to spend heavily boosting
00:51a GOP candidate themselves.
00:53That's a strategy they've used in the past.
