Xisaabta guddoomiyaha gobolka ugu weyn Maraykanka, Kaliforniya, waxay ku dhacday CNN markii labada musharax ee xisbiga Dimuqraadiga Xavier Becerra iyo xisbiga Jamhuuriga Steve Hilton ay isku hor fadhiyeen muddo saacad ah, iyagoo ka wada hadlaya xaaladda dadka la'aan guri ah, qiimaha dhaqaalaha iyo xisaabta dowladda.
Haddii ay isku hor fadhiyeen: Hilton wuxuu ku tilmaamay inuu yahay mid isbedelka raadinaya
Steve Hilton wuxuu sheegay in xukuumadda Dimuqraadiga ee Sacramento ay muddo dheer ku xadgudubtay horumarka dhaqaalaha, waxbarashada iyo nolosha dadweynaha, isagoo yiri, 'Waan u baahanahay inaan wax cusub sameyno.'
Xisaabtan waxay ku dhacday muddo ka hor inta ballaadhan ee doorashada guud ee November 3-aad, iyadoo codadka barta ee bishan la filayo inay bilaabmaan soo gaarista guriga dadweynaha.
Becerra wuxuu ku eedeeyay Hilton inuu yahay mid ka socda Trump
Xavier Becerra wuxuu Hilton ku eedeeyay inuu yahay mid ka socda madaxweynaha Maraykanka Donald Trump, isagoo sheegay in codadka Hilton ay ku jiraan 'codka Donald Trump.'
Hilton wuxuu ka mahad celiyay CNN inay 'Becerra ka soo saartay meesha ay ku jiray,' halkaas oo uu ku tilmaamay inuu yahay mid aan la aqoonin.
Xisaabta iyo xaaladda doorashada: Becerra wuxuu leeyahay horumar badan
Xisaabta September ee Jaamacadda Berkeley waxay sheegtay in Becerra uu leeyahay horumar weyn oo ka horreeya Hilton, iyadoo xisbiga Jamhuuriga aysan guuleysanin doorasho dowladdeed tan 2006-kii.
Becerra wuxuu leeyahay taageero badan oo ka socota xafiisyada dowladda, isagoo muddo 35 sano ah ku jiray xafiisyada dowladda iyo dowladda federaalka.
In the sole televised debate of the California governor race, Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton traded sharp accusations over homelessness, rising costs and the influence of President Donald Trump as mail ballots begin arriving ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.
A One-Hour Showdown on CNN
The one-hour debate on CNN featured nonstop exchanges between the two candidates, who presented sharply contrasting visions for the nation's most populous state. Hilton positioned himself as a change agent, arguing that years of Democratic control in Sacramento have weakened the state's economy and quality of life.
Becerra, who spent more than 35 years in state and federal office, countered by repeatedly invoking Trump's name, suggesting Hilton was merely the president's handpicked choice for the job. Hilton opened the debate by thanking CNN for bringing his rival out of hiding, a dig at Becerra's lower-key campaign style.
Policy Promises and the Cost of Living
Hilton outlined bold economic promises, including bringing gasoline prices to $3 a gallon, cutting utility bills in half and eliminating state income taxes on the first $150,000 in earnings. He framed his candidacy around addressing the punishing cost of living and high taxes that have long defined California.
Becerra also pledged to reduce household costs while pushing back against Trump's agenda, leaning into his extensive government resume that includes roles as California's attorney general and former President Joe Biden's health secretary. He emphasized that the governor's office is not a place with training wheels, signaling his readiness for the role.
A Tight Race in a Democratic Stronghold
A September poll by the University of California, Berkeley, Institute of Governmental Studies showed Becerra holding a sizable lead over Hilton, though a Republican has not won a statewide election in California since 2006. Hilton's campaign has relied on a steady string of public events to attract voters, while Becerra has maintained a more subdued approach.
The race emerged from a chaotic primary that saw former Democratic U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell exit following sexual assault allegations, while billionaire Tom Steyer ran the most expensive political advertising campaign in the country in a losing effort for the Democratic nomination.
