Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher could hardly believe the numbers he was reading on air as early returns from California’s gubernatorial primary came in Tuesday night.
In deep blue Los Angeles County — one of the most reliably Democrat strongholds in the entire country — Republican candidate Steve Hilton is overperforming in a MAJOR way.
GALLAGHER:“This is the statewide numbers but in L.A. County, we have 51% of the vote is in and Xavier Becerra has 29.2% of the vote, Steve Hilton has what again, Alec?” [Pauses] “22.6%, and 22.4% for Tom Steyer.”
GALLAGHER:“This is just in Los Angeles County. InDEEP blue Los Angeles County.”
GALLAGHER:“You see the blue right there? Well the deep blue area, Steve Hilton with 51% of the vote in is at 22.6%.”
GALLAGHER:“He’s ahead of Tom Steyer and he is behind Xavier Becerra, butholy cow, Kevin! That to me is very telling about this election.”
