Hour1 - California’s gubernatorial candidates repeatedly talked over one another while sparring on the state’s most urgent issues. Affordability dominated the stage, with sharp exchanges and pointed attacks aimed at figures like Steyer and Becerra. The debate also exposed deep divisions over how to address gaps in Governor Newsom’s CARE Court mental health system, particularly around involuntary care. New proposals from Sen. Catherine Blakespear seek to expand access and create clearer pathways for higher-level treatment, but candidates remain split on how far reforms should go.
