President Donald Trump is endorsing Republican Steve Hilton for California governor, reordering a wide-open race. Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that he has known Hilton for years. The president says the conservative commentator Hilton is "a truly fine man" who can turn around a state beset with high taxes that "has gone to hell." The endorsement will help Hilton coalesce conservative support in a crowded race with no clear leader. However, Trump is widely unpopular in heavily Democratic California outside his conservative base. The endorsement could become a liability if Hilton makes it to the November election.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order for California to independently review federal supply-chain risk designations for businesses. This follows a dispute between AI company Anthropic and the Department of Defense over contract terms. The order aims to regulate AI use by state employees while encouraging its adoption. California agencies must develop AI contract standards, improve government transparency, and issue guidance on AI-generated content. Newsom's move contrasts with federal policies, which took a lighter regulatory approach. This is Newsom's second AI-focused order, reflecting growing interest from unions and tech donors.

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 in Northern California has awakened residents with a jolt. Many say they felt their homes shake for a few seconds early Thursday across a 100-mile stretch, including San Francisco. The U.S. Geological Survey reports the earthquake was centered a mile from Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains at about 1:40 a.m. There are no immediate reports of serious damage. Residents as far north as Petaluma also felt it. In February, a series of small earthquakes rattled the San Francisco Bay Area, with the most powerful being a magnitude 4.2.
Democrats have run California for years. But in a nationally critical election, the party is being confronted by the limits of its own power: the race for governor is out of control. Barely a month before the start of mail-in voting, Democratic leaders are openly dreading the possible loss of a statewide election for the first time in two decades. No star has emerged from a muddled field of candidates for the state's premier job. Meanwhile the race has degenerated into finger-pointing over debate eligibility, identity politics and 2025 ballot counting — issues distant from voters struggling with soaring gas and food costs.
