\n

The top candidates for California governor clashed over the high costs of gas, housing and homeowner\u2019s insurance in a testy debate Tuesday evening, a fiery exchange that may finally draw voter attention as the June 2 primary election fast approaches.<\/p>\n

Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, whose campaign blossomed<\/a> after former Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out amid sexual assault and misconduct allegations,<\/a> came under persistent attack during the 90-minute debate but also went on the offensive.<\/p>\n

Former Fox News host Steve Hilton, a Republican who leads all candidates in the most recent opinion polls,<\/a> ripped Becerra for promising to declare a state of emergency to address rising homeowner\u2019s insurance rates, saying the governor lacks that constitutional authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t have a governor who doesn\u2019t understand how the government works,\u201d Hilton said. <\/p>\n

Becerra, who served as California attorney general before joining the Biden administration, quickly defended himself, saying he knows the law better than Hilton does.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need a talking head from Fox News to tell us how the government works,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

And that was after Becerra got in an early dig at Hilton, who has been endorsed by President Trump, by referring to Trump as \u201cHilton\u2019s daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The debate was broadcast and livestreamed by CBS stations around the state. Hundreds of people watched from Pomona College\u2019s historic Bridges Auditorium, a Renaissance Revival-style landmark with Art Deco flourishes that was once among the premier performance venues in Southern California.<\/p>\n

With eight major candidates<\/a> from both parties participating, CBS moderators billed it as \u201cthe largest and most inclusive debate of the election.\u201d Becerra and Hilton were joined by Republican candidate Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and Democratic candidates San Jos\u00e9 Mayor Matt Mahan, former Orange County Rep. Katie Porter, billionaire Tom Steyer, state Supt. of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. <\/p>\n

Some takeaways from the debate:<\/p>\n

Candidates didn\u2019t shy away from the top issues<\/h2>\n

Moderators set the theme for the first half-hour of the debate as \u201caffordability,\u201d a top concern among California voters, and almost immediately the candidates began sniping and talking over one another.<\/p>\n

Almost all of them vowed to accelerate home construction in California, pivotal to reducing the state\u2019s high cost of housing. <\/p>\n

There was no shortage of ideas for other ways to ease the financial burdens facing Californians, but few specifics on how they would deliver on those promises given the state\u2019s complex and arduous legislative process.<\/p>\n

Hilton promised to cap the price of gas at $3 per gallon, and Mahan vowed to suspend the state gas tax. Bianco said Democrats have long overregulated and overtaxed Californians, and the state\u2019s supermajority Democratic Legislature would have to get in line with him and end those things if he\u2019s elected.<\/p>\n

Becerra said he would reduce prescription drug prices. Thurmond said he would provide down payment assistance grants to those trying to own their first home.<\/p>\n

Barbs traded over climate-caused emergencies<\/h2>\n

Anchors and reporters from local CBS stations moderated the debate, including Los Angeles anchor Pat Harvey, Sacramento anchor Tony Lopez, Bay Area anchor Ryan Yamamoto and California investigative correspondent Julie Watts. They were joined by Sara Sadhwani, an assistant professor of politics at Pomona College and a member of California\u2019s independent redistricting commission.<\/p>\n

Moderators pointed to the surge in catastrophic wildfires across the state in recent years due to climate change, as well as the threat of earthquakes, and asked the candidates how they would respond to future emergencies.<\/p>\n

As he did throughout most of the debate, Bianco responded by bashing California\u2019s Democratic leadership, which he said created most of the ills facing the state.<\/p>\n

Bianco said the root causes of fire disasters in the state are \u201cnot because of climate change\u201d but due to \u201cfailed environmental activist policies\u201d that prevented fire departments from clearing highly flammable brush around communities for years.<\/p>\n

Mahan, after touting his actions as a Silicon Valley mayor during emergencies, quickly pivoted to take shots at Becerra and his role as U.S. Health and Human Services secretary during the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n

He said Becerra had \u201cnever met a crisis that he couldn\u2019t ignore\u201d and accused Becerra of failing to deal with COVID-19, monkeypox and the surge of unaccompanied minors at the U.S.-Mexico border during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

Becerra responded by saying that his agency dealt with the crises by working with all 50 states and the federal government to quickly roll out vaccines and other resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not wearing a mask, are you, Matt? You\u2019re not worried about catching monkeypox, right?\u201d Becerra said.<\/p>\n

Steyer also came under attack when he starting discussing his plans to \u201cmake polluters pay\u201d for the effects of climate change. Porter criticized the San Francisco hedge fund founder for making millions off the oil and gas industry, and using those profits to fund his campaign for governor. Steyer has spent more than $143 million of his own money on his campaign, according to fundraising disclosures filed with the California secretary of state\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow about profiteers pay? You pay the lowest tax rate on this stage, and yet you made the billions that you\u2019re using to fund your campaign off fossil fuels,\u201d Porter said to Steyer.<\/p>\n

Steyer responded that he is a \u201cchange agent\u201d candidate opposed by special interests and pointed to campaign committees funded by utility and other industry groups opposing his bid. Pacific Gas & Electric, the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Assn. of Realtors have put more than $29 million into a pair of committees to fund attack ads against the billionaire.<\/p>\n

Republicans focus on blaming Democrats<\/h2>\n

Just weeks before the June 2 primary, the race to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom remains wide open, <\/a>with many voters still undecided. <\/p>\n

Republicans Hilton and Bianco have led numerous public opinion polls while the large field of Democrats has split the vote, leading to fears among Democrats that the party could get shut out of the general election, despite outnumbering Republicans nearly 2 to 1 among the state\u2019s registered voters. In California\u2019s open primary, the top two finishers advance to the general election, regardless of party affiliation.<\/p>\n

The two Republicans avoided overtly attacking each other at the debate but were regularly the targets of other candidates onstage. <\/p>\n

Becerra, speaking about federal healthcare funding cuts approved by President Trump and congressional Republicans last year, referred to the president\u2019s endorsement of Hilton. \u201cThe first thing we have to do is stop Steve Hilton\u2019s daddy,\u201d Becerra said. <\/p>\n

Hilton responded jokingly that his father, who was the goalie for the Hungarian national ice hockey team, hadn\u2019t weighed in on the race. And he said Becerra\u2019s comment pointed to what is wrong with California politics \u2014 a fixation on Trump despite Democrats controlling the state for more than a decade. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had the same people in charge for 16 years now, and it\u2019s such a disaster and such a high cost of living for everyone, and the highest poverty rate in the country and the highest unemployment rate in the country, and the worst business plan,\u201d Hilton said. \u201cAll these things going wrong, they can\u2019t do anything except blame Trump. Let\u2019s see how many times you hear that tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bianco grew visibly frustrated several times over the debate\u2019s format and his opponents\u2019 answers. At different points, he compared the event to \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201d and called it \u201cthe hour and a half that [viewers] are never going to get back.\u201d <\/p>\n

Pressed on what he would do differently if elected, the Riverside County sheriff also focused on criticizing Democrats and accusing them of lying. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a group of of 20ish-year-old kids and we\u2019re just sitting here lying to them about broken Democrat policies in California for the last 20 years, and we\u2019re going to sit here and blame a president who\u2019s been president for a year. This is absolutely ridiculous,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Hilton has seen a bump in his polling numbers since he was endorsed by Trump<\/u><\/a> this month. A CBS News\/YouGov poll of more than 1,400 registered voters released Monday showed Hilton leading with 16%, followed by Steyer with 15%, Becerra with 13%, Bianco with 10%, Porter with 9%, Mahan and Villaraigosa with 4% and Thurmond with 1%. The largest group of voters \u2014 26% \u2014 was undecided.<\/p>\n
