Jordan Klepper Checks In on California's High-Stakes Governor Race - The Daily Show



Jordan Klepper Anal-a-Zones California's pivotal governor race: Eric Swalwell's scandal-plagued resignation threw a wrench in the state's free-for-all "jungle primary," and Democrats are scrambling with a roster of rizzless candidates, from "Love Actually"-parodying Tom Steyer to hologram-flexing Matt Mahan. Meanwhile, Republican voters face a choice between long-talking British expat Steve Hilton and firebrand Sheriff Chad Bianco, whose vibe is kind of "all the Village People at once."

on the list, for Governor. 24 are Democratic. This is how very Democratic majority California could end up with a Republican governor. There are only 11 Republican candidates.
The others are listed as Independent, libertarian, Peace and Freedom and No party preference.

It is being called a Jungle Primary.

Edit: 22 to 24 Democratic. 2nd edit: add, for Governor.
