Becerra will be the D nominee (yay), but to say Hilton and Steyer are “battling for second place” is a little ridiculous. Actual numbers as of the moment are Hilton 27%, Becerra 26%, Steyer 20%. Suffice to say Steyer can’t get to Becerra, but the odds are very high that it will be Becerra v Hilton.
