Summary
California’s governor race is about to ignite with a nationally televised CNN debate on September 30 — just days before mail-in ballots arrive. Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton will face off in a high-stakes showdown, clashing over taxes, spending, and California’s tense relationship with the Trump administration. After weeks of Hilton accusing Becerra of dodging confrontation, this hour-long debate — moderated by Dana Bash and Jake Tapper — promises a clear, side-by-side comparison of their visions for the state. With California’s deep Democratic lean and Republicans’ historic struggles in statewide races since 2006, this could be one of the most-watched gubernatorial debates in years — and your chance to hear directly from the candidates before you vote.
