The California political machine is officially in panic mode.
With the June 2026 primary fast approaching, a shocking new reality is setting in for the Golden State’s Democrat establishment: the very voting system they championed could shut them out of the Governor’s mansion completely.
Unlike most states that hold partisan primaries, California dumpsall candidates from all partiesinto one single primary election.
If Democrats split their vote among multiple candidates, and Republicans consolidate behind just one or two, it is entirely possible for two Republicans to advance to the November runoff, shutting Democrats out completely.
Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans statewide.
But polls now suggest that may not be enough this time.
While the Democrat field remains hopelessly fractured, conservative candidates are surging to the front of the pack, according to a brand-new Emerson College poll released this month.
The latest numbers show exactly why Democrats are sounding the alarm:
California Democrats are panicking as acrowded and uninspiring field of gubernatorial candidatesis raising the real possibility two Republicans could advance out of the June primary.
The prospect of candidates waiting too long to drop out and creating “zombie campaigns” that lead to a Republican governor for the first time since Arnold Schwarzenegger left office in 2011 has created a “sh—show,” one Democratic state legislator told The Post.
