Chad Bianco

It's also had an effect on the race for governor, albeit an unexpected one.

Two months before the primary, Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco led the polls.

There were so many Democrats in the race that with the state's top two primary system, there was a real possibility.

Please mention that Matt Mahan got 4%.

And at the end of the day, you know, if you're looking at change, right, it's either, you know, Becerra, who's, you know, he would be change, right? But he's probably palatable to a lot more people like this, that he's appealing to a lot more voters than a Steve Hilton.

So regardless of the Trump endorsement, right, like you said, I think that was a misread in terms of what happened here, right?

Yeah, I think what happened was the more people heard Chad Bianco talk, the less they wanted to vote for him.

Correct.

... 25%.

The other Republican, Chad Bianco, got 10%.

That's 35.

If you add up all the Democrats, it was 65.

I want to talk about this November's election because there's been a lot of move at the federal level to try to, I mean, critics would say interfere.

And here in California, we've seen a court case play out because your GOP rival from the the primary, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco seized 650,000 ballots earlier this spring related to the statewide election, Prop 50 last year.

He claimed irregularities in the number of votes that were cast versus counted.

What's your take on this? Do you support that investigation? Do you think he had the right to seize those ballots?

Yeah.

You said during the campaign with a debate with Chad Bianco, you're very proud of President Trump.

You still feel that way? Well, the endorsement.

Yeah.

She's a 29-year-old mother of two and she is suing Riverside County, California.

She's named Sheriff Chad Bianco and several deputies, but mostly this former deputy named Eric Piscatella.

And the craziest part about this whole thing is how it starts.

I know.

Failure to train and supervise, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Fourth Amendment violations.

It is a shotgun blast of legal action.

And she explicitly names Riverside County and Sheriff Chad Bianco.

How do her lawyers connect the actions of one rogue deputy to make the entire county financially responsible?

This happened just hours ago.

And there's a fight in California where Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco seized 650,000, almost a million ballots from the November 2025 special election.

And the Attorney General Rob Bonta, who says, I'm the one in charge of those ballots, wants them back.

The sheriff says, no, this

is fraud what we're seeing here.

California's Supreme Court justices in San Francisco heard arguments over the seizure of about 650,000 ballots from the 2025 redistricting battle, Prop 50.

After the election, Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco alleged that there were election irregularities and seized about 1,000 boxes of ballots.

The UCLA Voting Rights Project filed a lawsuit arguing that election law clearly states that the ballots are to remain with the registrar of voters.
