Have Californians Finally Had Enough of the Left-Wing Stupid? This New Development Will Shock You
The race for California governor is officially underway, and in a development sure to rattle the Democratic establishment, Republican candidate Steve Hilton is outraising his opponents. Hilton revealed on X that his campaign pulled in more than $4 million over the past six months—far eclipsing high-profile Democrats such as Katie Porter and Rep. Eric Swalwell.
Altogether, Hilton has raised $5.7 million, a clear sign that donor enthusiasm is shifting in a state long taken for granted by Democrats.
“BREAKING: STEVE HILTON DOMINATES FUNDRAISING,” the post read. “We are leading this race and building a grassroots political revolution.”
“THANK YOU to the 30,000+ people who have made this possible,” he added. “We will keep fighting to kick out the failed, corrupt Democrat machine and SAVE CALIFORNIA!”
Hilton, a former Fox News host from the UK who became a U.S. citizen the right way in 2021, talked to the New York Post about his progress thus far:
Hilton, who described himself as a political outsider, called the results “especially strong,” saying he finished well ahead of “establishment machine politicians like Eric Swalwell and Katie Porter.”
“This is truly a fantastic result and shows how much people are sick of Newsom and 16 years of one-party Democrat rule,” Hilton told The Post. “We built this from scratch, in record time.”
It’s true that a Republican hasn’t won statewide in California since 2006, when Arnold Schwarzenegger secured reelection after first taking office in 2003. And look, Hilton is definitely a long shot. But for skeptics who insist that history can never repeat itself, Hilton’s fundraising surge should serve as a wake-up call.

Make sure you tell your friends about us!Even more telling is Hilton’s decision to run with former Democratic legislative leader Gloria Romero—now a Republican—as his self-described “Golden Ticket” for lieutenant governor, a role California typically treats as an afterthought. Hilton says the response from voters has been overwhelming, driven by widespread frustration with a state battered by homelessness, rising crime, and runaway costs for housing, insurance, gas, and taxes.
Appearing on CNN on Monday, Hilton and Romero laid out their strategy and made clear they believe California voters are finally ready for a change:
“I think it’s time for a change in California. A majority of Californians agree with that, over 60%, but it’s not going to be easy to win as a Republican in the state,” Hilton told the host. “It’s been a long time since a Republican won statewide. So, I’ve always said we’ve got to do it differently. And I’ve always believed in the idea of a team that’s going to turn things around in California.”
“And I’m running as an outsider, a business owner…so I’m going there to take on the failure and corruption in Sacramento,” he added. “But right by my side, Gloria’s going to be helping me with all of her years of experience in the State Capitol, in the legislature.”
When pressed on how they will pull off a victory, Hilton once again pointed out that polls regularly show in CA that “60, sometimes as high as 65%, say the state is going in the wrong direction.”
California used to be reliably red; it can shift back that way again, and boy, would that be a death knell for the Democratic Party.
'Guilty Of Fraud' - Hammer Dropped On Former First Lady Jill Biden During Live Fox News Segment
McEnany Accuses Jill Biden Of Misleading Americans About Debate Performance
Posted July 15, 2026
Former White House press secretary and Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany accused former first lady Jill Biden of misleading the American public about President Joe Biden’s condition following his widely criticized debate performance during the 2024 campaign.
McEnany made the remarks Thursday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” where she reacted to comments Jill Biden reportedly made in her upcoming book regarding the president’s performance during the debate that ultimately intensified questions about his age and fitness for office.
The discussion began when co-host Dana Perino referenced remarks Jill Biden made immediately following the debate.
At a campaign event after the debate, Jill Biden praised her husband’s performance.
“Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,” she said at the time.
Perino contrasted those comments with more recent claims attributed to Jill Biden and raised questions about the apparent inconsistency.
“So now we know that this is what she’s saying in her book,” Perino said. “And the question I would love to ask her is where are you lying then or now?”
McEnany responded by arguing that Jill Biden’s reaction following the debate was inconsistent with her more recent descriptions of the event.
“It’s a great question,” McEnany said.
“That is not the reaction of someone who believes they just watched their husband have a stroke. It is an absolute lie.”
McEnany then accused the former first lady of concealing concerns about the president’s condition from voters.
“It was fraud,” she said.
“What she did fraud on the American public and she’s continuing it by saying she had never seen him like that before or after.”
The debate between Biden and President Donald Trump became a turning point in the 2024 election cycle, with many Democrats publicly expressing concern about Biden’s performance and his ability to continue his campaign.
Questions about Biden’s age and mental sharpness had circulated for years, but the debate intensified those concerns and fueled calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
During the Fox News discussion, McEnany referenced comments previously made by veteran journalist Carl Bernstein regarding Biden’s condition behind the scenes.
“Dana, you all remember Carl Bernstein, who said he talked to people who knew Joe Biden, loved Joe Biden, supported Joe Biden, and they were adamant that what we saw was not a one-off,” McEnany said.
According to McEnany, Bernstein reported that individuals close to Biden had observed similar episodes before the debate.
“They said it had happened 15 or 20 times prior, him losing his train of thought,” she said.
McEnany also cited a fundraiser Bernstein reportedly described.
“He described a fundraiser where he froze up and seemed to have some type of rigor mortis,” she said.
“This is not something that was a one-off.”
McEnany argued that concerns about Biden’s condition were widely known among those close to him.
“This was well known,” she said.
She then questioned why Jill Biden continued publicly defending her husband following the debate.
“So why did she keep up with the fraud on the American people?” McEnany asked.
The former first lady has repeatedly defended her husband and rejected claims that she or members of his inner circle concealed concerns about his health, Breitbart News reported.
The debate over Biden’s condition became one of the defining political stories of the 2024 election cycle and continued after he ultimately left the race.
McEnany’s comments reflect ongoing scrutiny surrounding what Biden’s family, advisers and top Democratic officials knew about his condition and when they knew it.
Neither Jill Biden nor representatives for the former president immediately responded to McEnany’s latest remarks.
As new books and accounts from those involved continue to emerge, questions surrounding Biden’s final campaign and the decisions made by those closest to him remain a major topic of political debate.
