Fact-Checking Becerra and Hilton in the California Governor’s Debate on CNN
The candidates sparred over who is to blame for California’s budget gap, with Hilton pressing for regulatory cuts and Becerra blaming Trump.
- On Wednesday, Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton debated for 60 minutes on a CNN soundstage in Burbank, clashing over California's budget crisis, artificial intelligence regulation, and political blame.

- Californians will choose the next governor on November 3, though many remain disenchanted with a political landscape offering little insight into how either candidate will address the state's pressing crises.
