As of May 10th, 2016, more than 75% of states have held either presidential primaries or caucuses.

El candidato presidencial republicano Donald Trump ha tomado otra postura populista que muchos republicanos desaprueban. En una plática reciente con el programa Meet the Press de NBC, Trump dijo:

Está más que documentado en los medios de comunicación que Donald Trump y Bernie Sanders, los dos candidatos que se oponen al sistema partidista, han impulsado el interés en las elecciones primarias de 2016 y la asistencia a ellas. Se espera que este fenómeno continúe a California.

La candidatura de Donald Trump en particular, podría tener un gran impacto en la elección del Distrito 52 del Congreso de California, donde el Congresista Incumbente Scott Peters (D) se está enfrentando a 5 candidatos republicanos en la primaria no partidista.
