Election Count Watch: California’s June primary is still in limbo, with about 39% of ballots uncounted and millions more mail ballots still arriving, as governor and LA mayor races remain too close to call and Trump and GOP candidates keep attacking the delays. Top-Two Primary Politics: Analysts say the top-two system often still produces familiar Democrat-vs-Republican matchups, even as the current insurance commissioner race shows rare exceptions. LA Mayor Race: Nithya Raman is closing on Spencer Pratt for the second spot behind Karen Bass, but the final runoff matchup depends on the remaining ballots. Governor Race: Steve Hilton and Xavier Becerra are leading, with Tom Steyer trailing, and experts warn the order of finish may not predict the November pairing. Defense & Training: The U.S. military ran additional overnight training exercises in Long Beach and City of Industry, with local police assisting for safety. Cross-Border Business: Attorney Bo Shi launched a California law firm to coordinate U.S.-China-Vietnam cross-border work, reflecting demand for multijurisdictional legal support. Environment & Health: Environmental groups sued to block California’s plastic packaging rules, while a new analysis finds PFAS-contaminated pesticides in about half of tested waterways. Infrastructure: California high-speed rail keeps moving, with major track work advancing in the Central Valley. Energy Policy: A federal plan would exempt some low-producing oil wells from methane leak rules, a change that could affect California’s heavy-oil operations.
