California Primary Election 2024: Live updates on Super Tuesday election results
ALL THE SNOW PILED UP NEAR DONNER SUMMIT RASTAFARIAN VOTERS HEADED TO THE POLLS AND NOW THE RESULTS ARE STARTING TO ROLL IN. FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES TO THE STATE SENATE RACES AND LOCAL RACES, WE HAVE YOU COVERED WITH THE WINNERS AND THOSE CLOSE RACES THAT WE CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR YOU. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT NOON. I’M LISA GONZALEZ. LET’S START OFF WITH THE RESULTS IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK THE GOLDEN STATE WITH EASE. HE SWEPT SUPER TUESDAY IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS A PROJECTED WINNER OF THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARY FOR REPUBLICAN NIKKI HALEY, ONLY RECEIVED 18% OF THE VOTE. AND TODAY, NIKKI HALEY ANNOUNCING SHE IS SUSPENDING HER CAMPAIGN AND SPOKE WITH SUPPORTERS EARLIER THIS MORNING, I SOUGHT THE HONOR OF BEING YOUR PRESIDENT, BUT IN OUR GREAT COUNTRY, BEING A PRIVATE CITIZEN IS PRIVILEGE ENOUGH IN ITSELF, AND THAT’S A PRIVILEGE I VERY MUCH LOOK FORWARD TO ENJOYING. IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, HALEY DID NOT ENDORSE PRESIDENT TRUMP. IT’S STILL UNCLEAR IF SHE PLANS TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE. DONALD TRUMP IS NOW THE LAST REMAINING MAJOR CANDIDATE FOR THE 2024 REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT. AND COMING UP AT 1230, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE MORE ON HALEY’S DECISION TO SUSPEND HER CAMPAIGN, INCLUDING REACTION FROM VOTERS AND THE CANDIDATES THAT ARE STILL IN THE RACE. AND WITH HALEY OUT OF THE RACE, SENATE MINORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL IS THROWING HIS SUPPORT BEHIND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. MCCONNELL IS SET TO STEP DOWN AS REPUBLICAN LEADER IN THE SENATE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. HE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN, MEANTIME ISSUING A STATEMENT AFTER HALEY’S ANNOUNCEMENT, SAYING IN PART, QUOTE, IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. THAT’S ESPECIALLY TRUE IN TODAY’S REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHERE SO FEW DARE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. END OF, QUOTE FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN. THE STATEMENT GOES ON TO SAY, DONALD TRUMP MADE IT CLEAR HE DOESN’T WANT NIKKI HALEY’S SUPPORTERS. I WANT WANT TO BE CLEAR THERE IS A PLACE FOR THEM IN MY CAMPAIGN. I KNOW THERE IS A LOT WE WON’T AGREE ON. I HOPE AND BELIEVE WE CAN FIND COMMON GROUND ON ANOTHER MAJOR RACE FOR CALIFORNIA VOTERS WAS THE DECISION ON WHO WILL FILL THE SENATE SEAT OF THE LATE DIANNE FEINSTEIN IN. OUT OF THE FOUR LEADING CANDIDATES, IT WILL BE DEMOCRAT ADAM SCHIFF AND REPUBLICAN STEVE GARVEY. ADVANCE TO THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, BOTH CELEBRATING THEIR VICTORIES AND LOOKING AHEAD TO THEIR NEXT CONTEST IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. FORMER BASEBALL STAR STEVE GARVEY, ADDRESSING THE CHEERING CROWD AT A HOTEL IN PALM DESERT LAST NIGHT. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS THE FIRST GAME OF A DOUBLEHEADER, SO KEEP THE EVENING OF NOVEMBER 5TH OPEN AS WE WILL CELEBRATE AGAIN. YEAH, I CONGRATULATE CONGRESSMAN SCHIFF FOR JOINING ME IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. AND RECOGNIZE CONGRESSWOMAN PORTER AND LEE FOR BEING IN THE ARENA AND FIGHTING FOR THEIR BELIEFS. GARVEY WARNED SCHIFF NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE HIM, SAYING THAT HE WOULD RUN A CAMPAIGN THAT WOULD APPEAL ACROSS PARTY LINES. AND AS DEMOCRAT ADAM SCHIFF GAVE HIS VICTORY SPEECH, HE WAS INTERRUPTED BY PROTESTERS. SO YOU HAD A CHANCE. YOU HAD A CHANCE TO MEET MY. AND A SCUFFLE BROKE OUT AFTER MULTIPLE DEMONSTRATORS IN THE CROWD CHANTED LOUD ENOUGH TO CAUSE SCHIFF TO STOP HIS SPEECH. SCHIFF WAS ABLE TO BRIEFLY THANK HIS SUPPORTERS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROTESTERS BEFORE LEAVING THE STAGE. MY GREAT GRATITUDE TO ALL OF MY WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RIGHT OF OUR PROTESTERS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL AND ONWARD TO VICTORY. IN NOVEMBER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY. AGAIN, SCHIFF AND GARVEY WILL NOW FACE OFF IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. WE’RE ALSO FOLLOWING THE RESULTS FROM THE ONLY STATEWIDE PROPOSITION ON THE BALLOT. IT IS A VERY TIGHT RACE ON WHETHER TO APPROVE PROP ONE, THE $6.4 BILLION BOND MEASURE WOULD TRY TO EXPAND THE STATE’S MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEMS, TARGETING THE UNHOUSED AND THOSE STRUGGLING WITH SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS. AND IN THE CAPITAL CITY, VOTERS GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DECIDE ON A NEW MAYOR. AND IT’S A VERY CLOSE RACE BETWEEN THE TOP FOUR CANDIDATES. STILL, DOCTOR RICHARD PAN IS NARROWLY IN THE LEAD RIGHT NOW WITH 24%. STEPHEN HANSEN AND KEVIN MCCARTY TRAILING CLOSE BEHIND, EACH WITH 23%. IN FACT, THERE’S A DIFFERENCE OF JUST FOUR VOTES BETWEEN PAN AND HANSEN. SO NEXT TIME YOU THINK YOUR VOTE DOESN’T MATTER, REMEMBER THIS DOCTOR COFFER IS FARTHER BEHIND. BUT STILL HAS 21% OF THE BALLOTS COUNTED SO FAR. WE CHECKED IN WITH THOSE CANDIDATES AFTER THE POLLS CLOSED LAST NIGHT, AND HERE’S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS CONTEST. I KNOW THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE COUNTING FOR A WHILE, BUT I REALLY THINK THAT MY MESSAGE ABOUT HOW WE NEED TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN CITY GOVERNMENT, HOW WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT THERE’S A GREATER FOCUS AND ACTION AND RESULTS ON HOMELESSNESS, PUBLIC SAFETY. THERE ARE FOUR REALLY, YOU KNOW, STRONG CAMPAIGNS GOING, AND WE’RE ALL NORTH OF 20%. AND SO IT’S KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, A FOUR WAY BATTLE. I FEEL REALLY GOOD. OUR TEAM WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD. WE HAD AMAZING SUPPORTERS ACROSS THE CITY. RIGHT NOW, WE’RE IN THE TOP TWO, BUT THERE’S STILL PROBABLY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VOTES TO COUNT. SO I WANT TO SEE THE VOTES GET COUNTED. BUT I’M SO GRATEFUL. I’M FEELING CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC. I MEAN, WE REALLY KNOCKED DOORS AND MADE SURE EVEN UP UNTIL, YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY THAT WE WERE REMINDING PEOPLE TO TURN IN THEIR BALLOTS AND GET OUT THE VOTE. AND MOVING ON NOW TO MEASURE C, THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO IS SEEKING TO IMPLEMENT AN INCREASE IN BUSINESS TAXES THAT WOULD HELP REDUCE THE BUDGET DEFICIT THE CITY WILL FACE IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. SO FAR, RESULTS SHOW THE NO VOTE IN THE LEAD RIGHT NOW WAS 61% OF THE VOTES IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, THE RACE FOR MAYOR IN STOCKTON TOM PATTY, IS LEADING WITH 35% OF THE VOTE. CHRISTINA FUGAZI HAS NEARLY 24% OF THE VOTE. AND WHEN ALL OF THE VOTES ARE COUNTED, IF NO ONE GETS MORE THAN 50%, THEN THE TOP TWO VOTE GETTERS WILL FACE OFF IN NOVEMBER. THAT’S THE SAME IN SACRAMENTO AS WELL. IN MODESTO, INCUMBENT SUE ZWAHLEN IS CURRENTLY LEADING THE MAYORAL RACE WITH 82% OF THE VOTE. SEBASTIAN JONES TRAILING WITH 10%, AND DEWEY BEDFORD JUNIOR HAS 8% OF THE VOTE RIGHT NOW. TAKING A LOOK AT MEASURE D, WHICH WOULD ESTABLISH MOUNTAIN HOUSE AS CALIFORNIA’S NEWEST CITY, THE LATEST RESULTS SHOW THAT PEOPLE ARE OVERWHELMINGLY VOTING YES, WITH 91% OF VOTERS SAYING YES TO THAT. YOU CAN SEE MORE RESULTS AND HEAR FROM THE WINNERS OF YESTERDAY’S VOTING ON THE KCRA THREE APP. AND WE’RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE OUR COVERAGE WITH UPDATED RESULTS
