California's Top Two Primary, also known as a Jungle Primary, was approved by voters as Proposition 14 in 2010. Prop. 14 was promoted by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lt. Governor Abel Maldonado and endorsed by most major newspapers as a way to lessen partisanship and reduce gridlock by encouraging compromise. (We'll leave it to readers to decide if it has had the desired effect.) official opposition to Top Two was wide, if not deep: All of the state's registered political parties, from GOP to Greens, were opposed, as were organizations as diverse as the California State Firefighters, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the United Nurses Associations. The Amendment passed by 8 points. Sixteen years later, California voters are beginning to sour on Top Two. Fears of a GOP - or Democratic - lockout in this year's race for governor have led many to call for a change. Recent polling by Capitol Weekly found the 79% of respondents wanted to revise or repeal the jungle primary.  Longtime Democratic consultant Steve Maviglio has heeded that call, filing a ballot initiative proposing to repeal Prop. 14. Maviglio is no newcomer to this fight - he led the opposition to the 2010 amendment. He joins us today to talk about the race for governor, the legacy of the Top Two and why it needs to change. :34 Op-eds 5:21 Polling on Top Two 7:32 Steve Maviglio 10:10 A problem for smaller parties 10:58 Could Republicans be shut out in November? 12:27 Top Two has not worked as advertised 13:43 Other options?

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, FEATURING JEFF BLISS AND GERMANICUS (MICHAEL VLAHOS). 4-17-202681 BCE SULLAJeff Bliss and John Batchelor discuss the vibrant developments in Las Vegas, where the President of the United Statesrecently arrived on Air Force One to promote a "no tax on tips" policy. The city is diversifying, becoming a sports mecca with Formula 1, World Wrestling at Allegiant Stadium, and a potential NBA franchise. Bliss recalls the legacy of the Rat Pack, Elvis, and Sinatra, while noting new landmarks like the Museum of Ice Cream in Area 15. Additionally, a massive In-N-Out burger restaurant is being built on the Strip, and the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is adding rare balcony suites. Batchelor even jokes about a future Museum of Potato Chips featuring Lays.In California politics, the race to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom is intensifying under the Jungle Primary system. Newsom reportedly spent 1.5 million dollars to purchase 67,000 copies of his own book. Current candidates include Steve Hilton, a former Fox contributor; Tommy Steyer, a multi-billionaire; and UC Irvine professor Katie Porter. In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass faces a tight race against Spencer Pratt. Batchelor mentions an interview between Bass and Jim Acosta on CNN, where she appeared defensive regarding homeless encampments in Venice and Hollywood.Other local issues involve the California Coastal Commission canceling Long Beach fireworks. On Catalina Island, once a secret CIA training ground, Batchelor recalls the Four Freshmen singing about the sea while discussing a police canine apprehending a suspect in Avalon. Bliss recounts his own experience being bitten by a German Shepherd when analyzing the intensity of such arrests. Additionally, a massive Animal Crossing bridge is under construction across a Southern California freeway to protect wildlife like buffalo.Globally, Germanicus warns of the "consolidation" of wars. Russia is reportedly upset by Ukrainian drone attacks launched from the Baltic states and Finland. Germanicus explains that 96% of Russian casualties are now caused by drones produced in Europe, Israel, and Turkey. Germanicus also highlights that leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer are meeting to address the crisis at the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, there remains a risk of "spasmodic responses" involving Russia's hypersonic Oreshnik missiles. John Batchelor concludes the session by noting that there is no certainty anywhere in the world except for their conversation. This dialogue captures the intersection of local entertainment, state politics, and global military strategy during a volatile and high-stakes historical period in history.

California's Jungle Primary Chaos Guest: Elizabeth Peak Elizabeth Peak explains how Eric Swalwell's withdrawal from the gubernatorial race creates a political vacuum. The jungle primary system allows two Republicans, like Steve Hilton, to potentially face off if Democratic votes remain split.1839 RHINELAND

The Democrat Party, which brags that it doesn't let democracy die in darkness, has a bad habit of culling candidates it feels are politically antithetical to its agenda. Take Eric Swalwell, for example. Swalwell joined an already crowded field for California governor in November 2025.  He threatened to break up the Democrat field, as there are more viable Democrat candidates than Republicans. Make no mistake: Had Swalwell been enjoying a healthy lead in the polls going into last Friday, he'd still be running for governor, and these allegations would've never seen the light of day. Like Joe Biden's failed reelection bid in 2024, the Democrat establishment made the strategic decision to no longer cloak Swalwell's sex harassment allegations and instead threw its weight behind a more viable candidate. “But my point is, if Eric Swalwell had been way ahead in the gubernatorial race, I don't think that any of this would've surfaced. It would've been analogous to Joe Biden. He would've been a useful vessel, and he would've won the governorship, and the Republicans wouldn't have had a chance.” (00:00) California Jungle Primary (00:47) Who Is Eric Swalwell (03:00) Swalwell Scandal Allegations (04:31) Why It Surfaced Now (07:32) Democrats and Backroom Politics

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss How To Talk About The California Governor's Race, which is, to put it mildly, a bit of a shit show. There are actually 61 names--for real--that are going to be on the primary ballot come June 2, but only 10 of them are serious contenders. And that's still a lot for this Jungle Primary, which will see the top two finishers, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the final ballot in November. So place your bets folks, because this race is anyone's to take! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

2. CALIFORNIA'S JUNGLE PRIMARY SYSTEM GUEST: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss explains how California's "jungle primary" splits the Democratic vote, benefiting Republican candidates,. Governor Gavin Newsom remains focused on a potential presidential run rather than local legislative issues. (2)1959 LAS VEGAS

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast UC-Santa Barbara professor & 2024 Green Party Vice Presidential candidate Dr. Butch Ware returns to Bad Faith to expose the lengths the Democratic Party is going to to throw him off the ballot in this year's California governor's race. Recent polling shows he's within striking distance of the top three Democratic candidates, who are all in a dead heat with 10 percent of the vote each. In California's "jungle primary" system, the top two go on to battle it out in final round, so Democrats are panicking about the prospect of two Republicans in the top two or -- even scarier -- a Green Party candidate making it to the final ballot. Professor Ware details the rough injustice of the closed court proceeding in which he was kicked off the ballot, the plan to appeal the decision, and why every leftist and resistance lib in the country should be focused on wresting the world's third biggest economy away from the corporate duopoly.

While California Democrats thought they could swarm the gubernatorial general election ballot with Democrats and win, Republicans had other ideas.  As of now, Republican candidates Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton are leading the jungle primary neck and neck, with Bianco at 16% and Hilton at 17% approval rating, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”(00:00) California Recall Shock (02:04) Jungle Primary Backfires (03:02) Newsom Record Under Fire (04:55) Wildfires And Rebuilding (05:40) Outmigration And Taxes (07:54) Fraud Exposé Smear (09:09) Boondoggles And Green Failures (09:59) Energy Refineries Gas Prices

Bill Press examines two races that could shift U.S. politics: Texas's U.S. Senate contest and California's open governor's race. In Texas, reporter Maria Recio of The Austin American-Statesman, explains how state Rep. James Talarico beat Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary, citing his earlier start, stronger ground game, appeal to Latino voters, moderate and faith-based profile, and high Democratic turnout; the GOP nominee will be decided in a May 26 runoff between Sen. John Cornyn and AG Ken Paxton, with Trump's endorsement still uncertain and Paxton seen as more damaged by scandals. They discuss issues likely shaping 2026, including affordability, immigration enforcement conditions, and war. In California, Politico's Melanie Mason details the top-two “jungle primary,” warning Democrats that eight candidates could split votes enough to allow two Republicans to advance; current frontrunners include Katie Porter, Eric Swalwell, and wealthy spender Tom Steyer, amid few major endorsements.You can follow Melanie Mason's work at Politico.com/newsletters/californiaplaybookToday's Bill Press Pod is supported by The Ironworkers Union.

I talk with Senator Ken Bennett about the continued legal challenges for PROP 140, the Jungle Primary/Ranked Choice Voting initiative that Arizona voters will be voting on starting next week. Bennett released a brief arguing in favor of counting the votes despite the initiative falling below the required signatures to actually qualify for the ballot.

#PacificWatch: George Gascon and Adam Schiff prosper in the California Jungle Primary system.  @JCBliss https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/elections-confused-about-the-la-county-da-s-race-here-are-some-pointers/ar-BB1iB7du 1933 LA

Welcome to the Steve Hilton Show. First, we have to address the national news story of the week: the Special Counsel report on Biden and his classified documents. The Democrats are desperately trying to escape the negative, but truthful comments questioning Biden's capacity to be president. Then, we take a brief look at his foreign policy decisions. Despite Biden being sold this great “foreign policy genius”, his foreign policy has been the most disastrous part of his presidency and that's the consequence of having someone at the top who's not really in charge. In other news, California Senate candidate Barbara Lee wants to raise the minimum wage to $50 rather than address the Democrat policies that drastically raised the cost of living. Then, joining us in this episode for California Corner is none other than Jennifer Horn. Jen and I deep dive into Sacramento's homeless problem and how it was miraculously cleaned up for Leonardo DiCapro's latest film project. We also analyze the topics discussed at the California Senate debate and discuss how California's jungle primary has created a one-party system. Chris Coulombe also joins us today for Candidate Corner. Chris is running for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 2nd Congressional District. He gives us a brief rundown of his background and his district's current political situation. Lastly, I touch on the media malfeasance with a recent story regarding Trump and his words about NATO.

We just had the primary election here in WA, and voter turnout, as usual, was low, at about 40%. Primary elections for the mid-term elections typically have low voter turnout, and there are a number of possible reasons for this. Mid-term elections have a higher voter turnout in our state, on average about 63% since 2000.Presidential election years have about an 80% registered voter turnout here in WA since the year 2000. And about 60% of the eligible voting age population votes. Should primary voters vote? Why should voters vote in the primary? There are 2 sides to this issue regarding the primary here in WA. First of all, we should explain what a primary election is and why the one in WA is so messed up. We have what some have called a jungle primary here in WA. In all other states except 3 or 4, to vote in the primary a voter must choose to vote on a Republican ballot or a Democrat ballot, and only one parties' candidates appear on that ballot. In 2004, Washington became the first state to adopt a top-two primary system for congressional and state-level elections. California followed suit in 2010. In Nebraska, a top-two primary system is utilized for state legislative elections, but this really is a non issue because Nebraska's state legislature is nonpartisan. In 2020, Alaska voters approved a ballot initiative establishing a top-four primary.So of course, WA led the way in this unusual and dysfunctional method of holding it's primary elections. Some believe, in theory but not in reality, this approach would focus on the individual in the race, instead of political parties. In reality, it's often that the top two candidates are of the same political party, disenfranchising voters who do not see their party's candidate make it to the general election ballot. For example, there was a hot primary race this month in the 3rd congressional district here in WA State , where a patriot and Pres. Trump endorsed candidate Joe Kent was going up against Jaime Herrera Beutler, who has been in the the Republican incumbent for 6 terms, since 2011.Joe Kent, one of her primary Republican challengers, pulled it out with only 1096 votes over Jamie Herrera Butler. The candidate field was diluted with a whole bunch of Republicans, which is another problem in Washington state because so many times the Republicans shoot themselves in the foot because they have way too many Republicans in a single race, diluting the vote.What if those 1,096 voters who support Joe Kent decided that their vote doesn't really matter, and didn't vote? Voter fraud, why is necessary to vote in a primary election, and why every vote matters is further discussed in this podcast.

Big Wos & Nando Vila are back to talk about the latest in politics. Nancy Pelosi has to open her financials up and her husband is apparently phenomenal at timing the stock market. I wonder why?

Governor Brian Kemp's pick for the U.S. Senate, Kelly Loeffler, gets some unwanted competition as Republican Doug Collins jumps into the race. Host Lisa Rayam talks with WABE political reporters Emma Hurt and Emil Moffatt about the drama surrounding the open Senate race, which now also includes prominent Democrat Rev. Raphael Warnock. We also talk about gambling, adoption, and foster care proposals.

In Episode 102, Dave and Jessica talk about the death of Kobe Bryant, Jessica’s trip across the state to visit the Columbus City Council, the 30 Troopers fired for cheating, Georgia’s push to eliminate ‘the Jungle Primary,’ and -- for once -- there’s a congressional bill worth praising!  

This week, we preview the upcoming Democratic primary debate in Ohio, as well as the gubernatorial election in Louisiana. Then we talk impeachment efforts of yore, and Sen. Mitt Romney's role in the current impeachment inquiry against President Trump.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

9/18/19-- Fresh off the Massachusetts Democratic Convention, Steve and Stephanie have much to discuss. Stephanie covered the convention in Springfield for Politico, and there were a few things in particular that stood out to her. Namely, as pundits in Massachusetts and nationwide speculate on the implications of the potential Markey-Kennedy Senate matchup, there's someone already calling out the sitting Senator. Shannon Liss-Riordan, a Brookline labor attorney and official candidate running for Markey's seat is "doing the work for" Kennedy, Stephanie says. On stage at the convention, she called to get corporate money out of Washington, a not-so-subtle jab at Markey. Back on Beacon Hill, there's news coming from the Secretary of State's office, after Bill Galvin came out in support of an initiative petition that would effectively overhaul our primary elections system. Chris Lisinski of the State House News Service drops by to explain the situation, pointing out that while the proposed ballot question fell short of the Attorney General's constitutional review, that doesn't necessarily signal the end. If the lead sponsor successfully challenges the AG's decision, Massachusetts voters will be choosing whether to get rid of partisan primaries as we know them and instead install a system wherein the top two candidates in a race advance regardless of party. Finally, reporting from The Horse Race Western Mass bureau is Rich Parr, who's witnessed concerted effort from disparate communities throughout the region who've joined forces to advocate for better, more expansive transit. Sen. Eric Lesser spoke at a forum last week where he emphasized the connection between a lack of transportation and a lack of economic opportunity. Meanwhile, pilot programs spell potential for Western Mass's transit future. This is all while Boston-area transit has remained relatively untouched by state lawmakers after a summer of chaos.

Ep. 148 - In the state of CA, a Republican wasn’t supposed to get the second most votes in the Jungle Primary to be in the final two candidates for Governor. He wasn’t supposed to beat a former LA Mayor, or the State Treasurer. He’s not part of the political class and, wasn’t born into a rich family. He is a successful Entrepreneur who doesn’t need to be taking arrows in the most Leftist run state in the nation. So why is he doing this? John Cox, Candidate for California Governor, joins Dave Sussman in person at the KRLA 870 studios to discuss how he will rescue California. Issues covered: affordable housing, repealing the gas tax (#Prop6), Gavin Newsom, immigration, education, water management, and much more. http://johncoxforgovernor.com/Produced by Praemonitus Communications. https://youtu.be/cd1fgBCckuwPlease subscribe to Whiskey Politics on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/c/WhiskeyPoliticsFind us on: The Ricochet Network http://ricochet.com/series/whiskey-politics/WhiskeyPolitics.net http://whiskeypolitics.net/ Facebook http://www.facebook.com/whiskeypoliticsblogDave on Twitter http://twitter.com/DavidSussman Shown on Americas Voice Television Network.Subscribe to your favorite podcast application including TuneIn, http://tunein.com/podcasts/Political-News/Whiskey-Politics-p1123767/Stitcher, http://tunein.com/podcasts/Political-News/Whiskey-Politics-p1123767/GooglePlay, http://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ic2bnaem2cwo3pul3do22dypz6uand iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-politics/id1104427904 where your 5-star rating will be greatly appreciated!Music: Ben Sounds. https://www.bensound.com/

It's Primary Day in many states. California's is notable because they have an interesting 'top two' rule. Politico's David Siders explains what may happen and the significant impact the winner can have nationally. Also, the Supreme Court has handed down their ruling in favor of a cake maker who believes that he should not be forced to bake for a same sex wedding. Lydia Wheeler of The Hill gives analysis of what this means for LGBTQ citizens and businesses moving forward.
