California will hold primary elections on June 2, with voters deciding outcomes in multiple contested races across the state.

The gubernatorial primary features numerous candidates making final appeals to voters in the closing days of the campaign. Candidates have been actively campaigning statewide as they seek to advance to the general election.

Congressional races are also drawing attention, including contests involving incumbent representatives facing primary challenges. Some districts have been affected by recent redistricting, potentially altering the political composition of certain areas.

Polling data suggests competitive races in several contests, though final outcomes will depend on voter turnout and last-minute campaign efforts. The primary results will determine which candidates advance to compete in the November general election.

California uses a top-two primary system, where the two highest vote-getters in each race advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation. This system can sometimes produce general election matchups between candidates from the same party in heavily Democratic or Republican districts.
