The waiting game continued after California's chaotic primary to succeed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom took a big step forward Friday, with CBS News projecting that former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, had advanced to the general election.
Under California's top-two primary system, the two candidates with the most votes will advance to November's general election, regardless of party affiliation.
Before Becerra advanced on Friday to the general election, Republican challenger Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host, had been the leading candidate in the race since polls closed on Tuesday. Becerra remained in second place before gaining enough votes to overtake Hilton in the latest results released by election officials.
"The challenge there is that with these late voters, Hilton actually seems to be doing pretty well," Mitchell said Thursday.
"We're not there yet, but it's looking good," Hilton said Tuesday night. "It looks very much like Californians really will have the chance to vote for change in November and take our state in a new direction."
Pratt's lead over Raman erodes in LA mayoral race
After holding a nearly six-percentage-point lead over Raman on Thursday, Pratt's advantage over the councilwoman narrowed to just more than three percentage points following the release of L.A. County's latest ballot count.
After polls closed on Tuesday, Pratt appeared confident that he was going to face Bass in November, saying that the incumbent was "not a candidate that I'm too concerned about."
Leading up to Election Day, analysts predicted that the race would be tight with the trio virtually tied. According to a May 28 UC Berkeley-LA Times poll, which cited a margin of error of around 3%, Bass had the most support from likely voters at 26%, Raman was close behind at 25% and Pratt came in third at 22%.
"No one knew who I was; I was the last to enter this race," Raman said. "We had no institutional backing. But what we did have was a vision for Los Angeles."
