The next round of election results has dropped. Here's how the race for California governor is shaping up as of Thursday, June 4:
With 57% of the expected vote counted, gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton still leads the pack at 27%. Xavier Becerra stands at 26% and Tom Steyer is at 20%. There's still a lot of votes left to count.
On Thursday, the Fresno County Elections Office released a new set of vote totals for the California primary election.
Around 71,150 ballots are still uncounted. Here is a breakdown of what remains:
There are 1,500 ballots with signatures that did not match the one on file. Voters have until June 24 to sign a letter confirming that they mailed the ballot.
Additionally, any vote-by-mail ballots postmarked by the United States Postal Service by June 2 and received by the elections office by June 9 will be counted.
The next set of vote totals will be released on Tuesday, June 9.
Gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra responded to President Trump's unsubstantiated claims Democrats are trying to "steal" the California primaries.
"Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He lost California by millions of votes in the 2024 election, and now he's trying to undermine confidence in our elections because he's a repeat loser here," said Becerra on a post published on the social media platform X.
"Sorry Donald, the voters decide who leads California. Not you," the post continued.
Trump posted to social media late Wednesday night accusing the Democratic Party in California of trying to "steal" the California gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primaries, offering no evidence to support the allegation.
In his posts, Trump complained about the alleged misuse of mail-in ballots and also accused the Democratic Party of delaying the tallying of votes - claims for which there is currently no supporting evidence.
The president also claimed that the votes are "under investigation" by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles. That office declined to comment on the president's statement in response to an ABC News request.
California Democratic Party Chairperson Rusty Hicks told ABC News that Trump's claims were "baseless."
"Everyone knows California will complete a fair and accurate count. End of story," Hicks further said.
"Trump is lying about California again," Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office posted online early Thursday morning about the president's assertion.
Trump has often claimed, without evidence, that elections are rigged and has complained about mail-in ballots and the possibility of fraud. Despite this, he voted by mail in a Florida special election earlier this year.
According to the California secretary of state, "vote-by-mail ballots postmarked on or before Election Day and received within seven days after the election, as well as any provisional ballots cast, must still be counted."
County election officials have up to 30 days after the election to count ballots. Final results from Tuesday's primary must be reported to the secretary of state by July 3, 2026.

Days after the state's primary, California voters are in a familiar position -- waiting to find out which candidates will go on to the general election in their most high-profile races, for governor and Los Angeles mayor.
As he has done before, President Donald Trump used the delayed ballot count on Thursday to allege that Democrats were trying to rig the tally and keep two candidates he favors from advancing to the general election.
Trump supports Republican Steve Hilton in the governor's race and Spencer Pratt in the nonpartisan race for Los Angeles mayor.
His claims prompted a response from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
His press office posted a video explaining how the nation's most populous state prioritizes accuracy and accessibility over speed.
