Becerra maintains lead, Steyer begins to close gap in CA governor's race

A new batch of votes was counted on Sunday evening, showing Democrat Xavier Becerra is still in the lead in the race for California governor. Meanwhile, Democrat Tom Steyer continues to steadily gain votes.
With approximately 72% of the expected votes counted on Sunday, Becerra maintained 27% of the vote. Republican Steve Hilton was right behind him with 26% of the vote, followed by Steyer in third place with 22% of the vote.
While the governor's race hasn't seen a ton of movement, Steyer's vote total did increase by 1 percentage point compared to Saturday.
Previously, Hilton was in the lead, but when more election results came in on Friday, Becerra rose to first place, and AP News projected he would advance to the November election.
As of Sunday, there is about a 95,000-vote difference between Becerra and Hilton.
It is still undecided which additional candidate will advance.
