当地时间1月14日，共和党州长候选人史蒂夫·希尔顿在加州亨廷顿海滩向记者发表讲话。
唐纳德·特朗普总统已表态支持共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿参选加州州长，这可能会打乱这场旨在接替即将卸任州长加文·纽瑟姆的拥挤竞选格局。
“有联邦政府的支持，再加上史蒂夫·希尔顿这样的优秀州长，加州必将变得比以往任何时候都更美好！”特朗普在周一凌晨的Truth Social帖子中写道。“史蒂夫·希尔顿获得我百分之百、毫无保留的背书。”
这位前总统称希尔顿是一位“优秀的人”，希尔顿是英国移民，曾在英国政坛担任战略顾问，特朗普表示自己认识并敬重他多年。
希尔顿的竞选团队在社交媒体上发帖感谢特朗普的背书，写道：“有特朗普总统的全力支持和联邦政府的助力，我们将夺回加州，让它变得比以往任何时候都更美好！”

希尔顿曾是福克斯新闻主持人，他正在与里弗赛德县共和党警长查德·比亚科以及八位主要民主党候选人竞争，争夺加州6月初选的晋级资格。初选将选出得票最高的两名候选人，无论其党派归属，晋级11月的大选。
民主党内部的担忧与日俱增：分散参选的民主党候选人可能会分散选票，导致希尔顿和比亚科成为初选中得票最高的两人，从而将民主党挡在大选之外——而加州已有近二十年未选出共和党州长了。
去年11月，希尔顿在接受CNN记者埃利克斯·迈克埃尔森采访时，将加州高昂的房价和油价归咎于民主党，并表示他认为该州选民渴望变革。
“在所有议题上，我都将阐明：正是15年的一党执政将我们带到了如今的境地——工薪家庭几乎难以支付日常开支，我们的失业率高居全国之首。这一切都是民主党政策造成的，而非唐纳德·特朗普，”希尔顿在为特朗普辩护时说道。
据希尔顿的竞选官网介绍，希尔顿曾就读于牛津大学，早年从政期间曾在前首相玛格丽特·撒切尔任期内为英国保守党工作。
在商界积累经验后，他重返政坛，曾担任前英国首相戴维·卡梅伦的高级顾问，随后于2012年移居加州。

President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind Republican Steve Hilton in the California governor’s race, potentially shaking up a crowded race to replace outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“With Federal help, and a Great Governor, like Steve Hilton, California can be better than ever before!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post early Monday morning. “Steve Hilton has my COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT.”
The president called Hilton, a British immigrant and former strategist in UK politics, a “fine man,” who Trump said he has known and respected for many years.
Hilton’s campaign thanked Trump for the endorsement in a post on social media, writing, “With President Trump’s full backing and federal support, we are going to take California back and make it better than ever before!”

Hilton, a former Fox News host, is vying with Chad Bianco, the Republican sheriff of Riverside County, and eight major Democratic candidates to emerge from California’s June 2 primary, which puts the top two candidates, regardless of party, on the ballot in November.
Concern has been growing amongst Democrats that the scattered field of Democratic candidates could split the vote enough for Hilton and Bianco to be the top two vote-getters in the primary, locking Democrats out of the general election in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in nearly two decades.
During an interview with CNN’s Elex Michaelson in November, Hilton blamed Democrats for high housing costs and gas prices in California and said he believes voters in the state want change.
“On and on through every issue I’ll be making the case that it’s 15 years of one-party rule that have brought us to this point, where working families can barely afford to pay the bills, where we have the highest unemployment. That’s all the result of Democrat policies, not Donald Trump,” Hilton said, defending the president.
Hilton attended Oxford University and got his start in politics working on the UK’s Conservative Party during the tenure of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, according to his campaign website.
After building a career in business, he returned to politics, serving as a senior adviser to former UK Prime Minister David Cameron before moving to California in 2012.
