California Governor's Race Heats Up
The debate featured four Democrats and two Republicans, with no clear frontrunner emerging in the chaotic nonpartisan primary.
Candidates including Xavier Becerra and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones were pressed on their records and their ability to lead the state through economic uncertainty.
While the Democrats focused their fire on President Donald Trump, the Republican candidates criticized the long-standing Democratic leadership for California's current woes.
The June 2 primary remains wide open as voters look for a candidate who can provide a clear vision for the state's future.
