Politico reports:

Steve Hilton, the former Fox News host and policy adviser to British Prime Minister David Cameron, is seriously considering a run to succeed California Gov. Gavin Newsom in two years, three people in close touch with him tell POLITICO.

While Hilton and his team did not comment when approached for this story, several prominent political figures in the state conveyed that the Silicon Valley entrepreneur, who has been increasing his public appearances and focus on California public policy, is already deep in discussions about a possible run as a Republican.

“He is thinking very seriously about running for governor and he is doing it in a very organized way,” said Jim Brulte, the former California Republican Party chair and GOP leader of the state Senate.

Hilton, a COVID “truther,” appeared here in March 2020 when he and fellow Fox host Jason Chaffetz claimed that hospitals were inflating the number of COVID deaths.

He currently hosts an independent podcast with a relatively meager following. He still appears regularly on Fox News and Fox Business.

Hilton became a US citizen in 2021.
