Xavier Becerra found that out Thursday night as six gubernatorial rivals ganged up on him in the final debate before California\u2019s primary \u2014 attacking everything from his ethics to his ideas to his choice of political consultants.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/californiamovingreport.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/15\/california-legislators-kill-new-spending-programs-and-blame-trump-for-funding-cuts\/\">California legislators kill new spending programs and blame Trump for funding cuts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was their last chance to make a personal appeal to California voters ahead of the June 2 election to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the San Francisco debate was calmer than the brawls in the last few meet-ups, everyone\u2019s target was the Democratic frontrunner Becerra.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These are five takeaways:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Becerra was the one to beat<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>Opponents piled on with anything that might stick, from his acceptance of a campaign contribution from Chevron to his failure to answer questions at a housing forum last week to fraud in the hospice system while Becerra was secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the Biden administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the Becerra weakness du jour was the guilty plea earlier Thursday of his former political strategist Dana Williamson, who admitted to conspiring with Becerra\u2019s former longtime chief of staff to steal money from his campaign account.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Opponents were unified in their skepticism about Becerra\u2019s repeated claims that he wasn\u2019t involved. Despite the plea deal that did not accuse him, Democratic rival Katie Porter went so far as to say he could still be implicated in the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, a moderate backed by tech leaders, went out of his way to call Becerra the \u201cembodiment of the status quo\u201d in Sacramento.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Several candidates attacked Becerra over his lack of a funding plan for his ideas, including Porter, who pulled out a makeshift whiteboard in a callback to her signature move in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is Mr. Becerra\u2019s revenue plan?\u201d she pressed.<\/p>\n<p>The former health secretary took a page out of Newsom\u2019s book, pointing to an idea to restrict some corporations\u2019 use of tax credits. <\/p>\n<p>Newsom proposed that earlier in the day as part of his state budget.<\/p>\n<p>Once lagging in polls and fundraising, Becerra has surged since ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out in early April over sexual assault allegations, offering Democratic voters a familiar face who\u2019s held public office for decades and who frequently talks about fighting with Trump.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>And he made the most of it<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>Becerra appeared pleased with the attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what happens when you take the lead in the polls,\u201d he said. \u201cThey all come at you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican frontrunner Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host, quickly jumped in to correct him: Hilton is leading, per some polls. (Accounting for margins of error, both candidates are essentially tied.)<\/p>\n<p>But Becerra used the moment to try to shut the door on the Williamson scandal, touting a statement from the prosecutor\u2019s office Thursday saying that \u201cno candidate running for governor has been implicated\u201d in the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week, he refused to answer when a reporter asked if he was sure Williamson couldn\u2019t connect him to the case. Asked Thursday if he could guarantee the case wouldn\u2019t be a \u201cdistraction\u201d if he advances to November, he responded, \u201cI can.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mahan looks to separate from Republicans<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has made a name for himself as a moderate Democrat willing to take on his own party. That has included his early support for Prop. 36, the tough-on-crime ballot measure that Newsom and the party opposed in 2024 but which voters passed overwhelmingly, and his campaign proposals to tie pay to performance in the public sector that rankle organized labor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/californiamovingreport.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/14\/newsoms-last-budget-cut-california-spending-now-save-for-the-ai-bubble-to-burst\/\">Newsom\u2019s last budget: Cut California spending now, save for the AI bubble to burst<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But on TV in a state where Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans and Trump is anathema, he sought to clarify that he\u2019s not a Republican.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to offer something different,\u201d he said. \u201cNot MAGA and not more of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mahan appeared to relish his spats with Hilton, taking care to point out Hilton\u2019s association with Trump and his former employer, Fox News. Mahan criticized the Republican\u2019s plan to expand California suburbs by building on undeveloped land as likely to drive up carbon emissions, and aattackded hiover rumors he was pushed out of British Prime Minister David Cameron\u2019s government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI attacked the extremes on both sides,\u201d Mahan said after the debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mahan was the only Democrat not to say on stage that he would support any of the other Democrats if they advanced to November and he didn\u2019t, instead naming fellow moderate former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, because \u201cmayors get things done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, he wavered, first saying \u201cit depends\u201d when asked if he would support another Democrat, clarifying, \u201cI would vote for a fellow Democrat against a Republican.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Everyone but Hilton would restrict chatbots<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>When moderators asked a lightning-round \u201cyes or no\u201d question on whether the state should more strictly regulate artificial intelligence chatbots that interact with children, the candidates appeared united across party lines.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats in the state Capitol this year are already pursuing stricter chatbot regulations after advocates decried a law Newsom signed last year as too weak. Steyer promoted his brother\u2019s influential work on the topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Hilton hesitated, then refused to answer yes or no, saying \u201cit\u2019s not as simple as that\u201d and expressing a desire not to over-regulate the industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not the right way to discuss a very important and serious issue,\u201d he said as opponents and moderators tried to pin him down. \u201cIt causes problems that are unintended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hilton moved to California from the United Kingdom to Silicon Valley in 2012 to join his wife Rachel Whetstone, a prominent tech executive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Republicans boost each other:<\/h2>\n<p>Even before the moderators asked the candidates who else they would support if they didn\u2019t make it onto the November ballot, the two Republicans were already practically high-fiving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In previous debates, interviews and TV ads the two have attacked each other, but by Thursday they were often referencing each other\u2019s points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly two of us actually represent real change,\u201d Hilton said of himself and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.<\/p>\n<p>With numerous Democrats competing for liberal support, Hilton has consistently led in the polls. While he and Bianco have previously declined to specifically endorse the other, the only realistic way for a Republican to win in blue California is for both Republicans to come in Nos. 1 and 2 and shut Democrats out of the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/californiamovingreport.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/14\/former-newsom-chief-of-staff-pleads-guilty-to-scheme-that-bled-money-from-becerras-account\/\">Former Newsom chief of staff pleads guilty to scheme that bled money from Becerra\u2019s account<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer --><br \/>\n<!-- .author-bio --><br \/>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xavier Becerra took heat from rivals in California&#8217;s final governor debate, but the Democratic frontrunner took advantage of the spotlight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,24,10,111],"class_list":["post-370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-governor-race-2026","tag-katie-porter","tag-tom-steyer","tag-xavier-becerra"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
