California Gubernatorial Debate Scrapped: Controversy Over Selection Process
The planned debate at USC, co-sponsored by KABC, was canceled due to disagreements on expanding the candidate lineup. The selection formula, combining polling and fundraising data, was criticized for excluding key figures of color like Becerra, Thurmond, Villaraigosa, and Yee. Legislative leaders accused the process of bias, citing USC connections to pro-Mahan groups and donors. Despite organizers claims of an independent method, the outcry led to the cancellation, with candidates like Becerra hailing the decision as a win for fairness.
