Hilton will face off against Democrat Xavier Becerra, the former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary and California attorney general, who mounted a late rise in the race after the exit of former Rep. Eric Swalwell. Becerra overtook Hilton in the vote count on Friday, leading to CBS News projecting that he would advance.
If elected, Hilton would become California's first Republican governor since Arnold Schwarzenegger left office in 2011. He served as Cameron's director of Strategy from May 2010 to May 2012. Before moving to California in 2012, Hilton unsuccessfully ran for a U.K. parliamentary seat as a member of the Conservative Party in 2005.
"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," he said on Tuesday.
Other notable candidates in the race included State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, a Democrat, and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican. As of Sunday, neither candidate had conceded in the race.
"I have known and respected Steve Hilton, who is running for Governor of California, for many years. He is a truly fine man, one who has watched as this once great State has gone to Hell," Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Steve Hilton has my COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT."
In the days since election night, Hilton has criticized the state's lengthy process for counting ballots. During a news conference in San Mateo County on Friday, he pledged to "make sure all votes are counted within 48 hours of the mail-in deadline" if elected governor.
