• Policy vs reality → debate over root causes of homelessness sparks tension between ideology and on-the-ground experience
• Debate lowlights → odd “everyman” questions and moments that felt disconnected from real voter concerns
• Clear loser? → Tom Steyer struggles to connect, while others lean into messaging over substance
• Late pivot → everything circles back to Trump, even in a California-focused race• Sports + side drama → Mike Vrabel controversy grows with new photos, prompting him to step away for counseling
