The Republican podcaster and former Fox News host held a rally Tuesday, a day after announcing he would run for governor in 2026.

Conservative commentator Steve Hilton will announce that he’s joining the 2026 race for California governor, running as a Republican to replace Democrat Gavin Newsom, who is prevented by law from seeking a third term.

Hilton will hold a campaign launch rally in conservative Huntington Beach, with a message critical of California’s Democratic supermajority.
