California govenor candidates Tony Thurmond, Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton get heated over different approaches to addressing homelessness in the state #california #cagovdebate #cagovernor
As they had in prior debates, the candidates onstage attempted to buttonhole Xavier Becerra (D), the current leader in the polls, to articulate his stance on single-payer healthcare. Becerra responded by saying that he has always been a proponent of it.
Steve Hilton (R), currently sitting at second in the polls, said Californians should not have to pay for the healthcare of citizens of other countries. He criticized Becerra’s time as U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, arguing that Becerra dismantled the unit responsible for cracking down on fraud.
The crowded field of candidates for California governor was asked who they would consider endorsing if they do not appear on the November ballot.
For the most part, the candidates avoided answering the question at the final debate before the June primary election, with most separating down party lines. One notable exception was San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, who said he would consider former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Final statements from the final debate.
California gubernatorial candidates faced questions about the economy, healthcare, public education and more during Thursday's CBS News California and San Francisco Examiner debate.
On the debate stage were Democrats Xavier Becerra, Matt Mahan, Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, and Antonio Villaraigosa, and Republicans Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton. With the June primary nearing, moderators pressed candidates to clarify previous statements and expand on how they would make their vision for a better California a reality.
Can't wait for tonight!!!

California Governor's Debate lightning round: Are you in favor of forcing treatment for unhoused individuals who repeatedly refuse to accept paths to long-term housing?
