Election 2026 updates: Latest on race for California governor and more

President Donald Trump, without evidence, is accusing Democrats of trying to "steal" the California gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primaries.

He first called out the use of mail-in ballots in a post on Truth Social. In a follow-up post, he accused Democrats of holding up the vote tallying - claims that are currently without merit. He also claimed that the vote is "under investigation" by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, another claim that is currently unsubstantiated.

"They are trying to STEAL THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PRIMARY, AND THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, PRIMARY, AWAY FROM TWO GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. Here we go with the very late and massive numbers of MAIL IN BALLOTS," Trump wrote in one Truth Social post.

"Votes are all tied up. May not be in for weeks. Under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles. Why the vote counting DELAY???" the follow-up post said.

The final results for the primary election for California governor are coming into focus.
