ELECTION NIGHT: HUNTINGTON BEACH

Our beautiful state has gone off track and we need to get it back on track. Enough with the ideology--it's time for positive and practical change in California. Thats the change I'm giving you as governor ☀️👊

[FOX & Friends @foxandfriends]

SPENCER PRATT: "I'm ready for whatever God puts in front of me. Obviously, I was going to accept whatever God's plan was tonight."

"We have five months to put the best team the city could ever dream of around me."

JUST NOW: Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton shares an optimistic message with supporters as results continue to roll in.

"It looks very much as if Californians really will have the chance to vote for change in November...and take our state in a new direction — a fresh start for our state — which is long overdue."

"Whether you voted for me or not, I am here for you."

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Spencer Pratt is now expected to head to a run-off with Karen Bass

“Obviously, God wanted 5 more months of me exposing all the failures of our mayor.”

Incredible

🚨 Fox’s Kevin Corke STUNNED by scale of RED WAVE in Los Angeles and California: “I am gobsmacked by the numbers” in L.A. county!”

“In and around Sacramento, boy does Steve Hilton really start to pick up numbers and it’s consistent. Look at Nevada too!”

“It’s going to be a very interesting night for Steve Hilton and for a lot of people who didn’t anticipate he’d do as well as he’s doing.”

[Overton @overton_news]

BREAKING: Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton has taken the very early lead in California.

Hilton is now in front of Democrat Xavier Becerra by over three points.

Only 6% of the vote is counted, but it’s a start.

FOX: “Here we go!”

“The early lead, you’ve got, Steve Hilton leading right now.”

“Listen, the cautionary thing here is this means nothing because it is 6% of the vote.”

“It means something because it is 6% of the vote!”

Hilton is off to a strong start in California.

🚨Rob Schneider revives his Waterboy character to endorse Spencer Pratt for LA mayor.

Peter Doocy cracks up during the exchange.

Schneider mocks how Dems prioritize identity politics over fixing real crises like crime and homelessness.

[E. Werner Reschke @EWernerReschke]

We shall see if a city and state can tax its way to prosperity

OR

we will elect Christine Drazan as our next governor.

[Real Ed Diehl @Real_EdDiehl]

Yesterday, I joined fellow Republican leaders, including @ChristineDrazan, Republican nominee for Governor, @Dudley4Oregon, @davidmedinapdx, @BethellforGov (who joined virtually), other candidates, and grassroots supporters at the GOP Unity Luncheon in Salem. Following the May primary, this gathering reaffirmed our shared commitment to putting Oregon first, united in purpose and focused on delivering real solutions for our families and communities.

It is important we unite to support Drazan for Governor and every other Republican candidate that won their hard-fought primary.

Oregon deserves better, and with unity, we will deliver it. Thank you to everyone who attended and to the Oregon Republican Party for hosting this important event.

Let’s keep the momentum going!

[Kyle Bunch @KyleBunchOR]

You don’t have to be a Republican to vote for @ChristineDrazan! It’s the cool thing to do in Oregon in 2026!

Oregon initiative that would criminalize hunting, fishing moves a step closer to November ballot https://t.co/MCRMEoiEUb

[Christine Drazan @ChristineDrazan]

My plan to solve our homelessness crisis is centered on treatment, recovery and accountability. We can’t get folks off the street and into housing if we don’t address mental health and addiction.

Under Tina Kotek’s leadership homelessness has increased by 35% statewide. Her outdated philosophy of housing first has resulted in billions spent on ineffective programs that fail to get people off our streets and into recovery and long-term sobriety.

That changes on Day One when I’m governor.

Whoever Spencer Pratt has putting together his commercials, every Republican running for office in the midterms needs to hire them today!

Here's another banger!👏

[Reeds @ScarletReeds]

I think this might be my favorite Spencer Pratt campaign ad.

Satire when done right resonates more than any other linguistic device.

[kevin smith @kevin_smith45]

These Spencer Pratt videos keep getting better and better

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

Spencer Pratt wins the day with this banger.

Great job, @dsonoiki.

HERE is the monument to 16 years of failed one party rule.

$200 billion over budget, 30 years late - this is not a 'bullet train', it's a bullshit train.

As governor I will stop it in its tracks. If only they had laid any...
