With just three weeks to go to the primary election of March 5, four prominent California candidates met for a fiery final debate for the American Senator, far from the months of humble campaigning in the leadup for Tuesday’s performance.
This was the last chance for the four-Democratic reps. Adam Shif of Berbank, Katie Porter of Irwin and Barbara Lee of Okland as well as Republican X-Dojar Steve Garve-Pratuionary to make voters their own case.
And Porter took it and ran away with it, threw Barbes on Frontner Chif from beginning to end.
For Irwin Democrats, stakes were the highest bet, according to the latest pole results, the front runner Shif and Republican Garve have come in third place behind. Earlier, Garve and Porter were found to have a deadlock in the second place.
“(Poll) is an opportunity to see how Porter reacts,” said Matt Leseni, Assistant Professor of Political Science in the CSU long middle of the debate.
And he reacted. From Gate-Go, Porter left after chiff, saying that career politicians have not focused on the challenges of Americans everyday, including the cost of housing, childcare, and alder care.
For example, my colleague rape. Shif says that he wants to bring down the cost of childcare, but he is not one of the two major Democratic bills that will do so, “he said.” He is not on a bill to provide rent to the people for housing, although all these things are in his plans.
Shif said that “nothing is easy to put his name on a bill,” and he introduced several bills to bring down the cost of childcare. “
The earmark, where individual members of the Congress can ignore the regular spending process of the federal government and request funds for a local project, was another theme to Porter Lambast Chif.
“At this stage there is a candidate who has done this repeatedly, is receiving earmarks for his personal corporate donors who are big defense contractors,” he said.
Shif replied that any senator who does not seek e -verse money, “The senators of every other state of the Sangh are going to be a gift that will fight for resources for their state.”
Porter, who sought to place himself as an outsider for special interests, took another swing on the climate on the climate.
“I am different from rape. Shif. He has taken corporate PAC check from BP, sempra, Socal gas, and these are domestic names. They are pollutants,” he said. “So people can trust me to do Washington differently.”
In response, Shif accused Porter that “is not completely clear about taking thousands of dollars from people in the oil industry, taking thousands of dollars from Wall Street Bankers, from thousands of people in Pharma.”
He said, “Problems with purity tests in the form of rapes. Porter likes to install, it does not always find them to install them,” he said.
The top two vote in primary-Getters will proceed to the November voting in the race to replace former Senator Danee Fenstein, who died in September 2023.
During the hour debate, the candidates answered questions on several hot-button issues, from inflation to the US in the federal budget deficit, US defense spending, foreign policy and artificial intelligence.
Lee, who remained out of the battle of his democratic colleagues, postponed his progressive agenda throughout the evening and at the same time his living experiences informed his decisions as senator.
“I was born in an immigrant community in a border city in El Paso, Texas … I understand the importance of broad immigration improvement,” he said. “It is an shame and insult that we cannot allow our DACA students, our dreamers to become a citizen of the United States. In the Senate, this will be the first thing I will do. ,
Porter also said that it would support citizenship for dreamers, young immigrants illegally brought through their own mistake in the US.
On climate change, Lee recalled to a neighborhood, with a smelter plant emitting toxic chemicals and promised to support “just infection for workers from the fossil fuel economy to a green economy”.
She was also the only candidate on the stage to call for an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, as she was in the previous debate and on the campaign mark.
Garve spoke in generals throughout the debate and did not offer specific policy proposals. When pressed by a model that his effect or law will be, he can introduce it in the Senate, he said that he is one of the most important things he can do “Go back to reading, writing and arithmetic to ensure that our children’s next generations are new leaders and capable.”
The Tuesday night performance hosted by NBC4 and Telemundo 52 at Universal Studios Lot was far from the first two television debate between four, which were notable for the lack of memorable comments.
“It is like a barrel of fireworks without any ignition. At this point, I really thought that more plays were going to be, but it has been a sleeper, ”Matt Leseni said, CSU Long Beach, Assistant Professor of Political Science on the eve of the debate.
During the initial debate, the candidates discussed a series of hot-button themes-including immigration, economy, former President Trump, Homeless and Israel-Hamas War-but kept their Tempers cool. Three Democratic candidates agreed to most points and focused on their criticisms on Garve’s Republican platform, but avoided throwing destructive punches in the political newcomer.
For his share, Shif has worked to place the cameras on herself and Garve and avoids pulling his Democratic competitors in the field, Leseni commented.
“I think Shif wants to focus on Garve to try and install him as a man of another place,” he said. It will be in favor of Shif that Deep Blue has to face a Republican Challenger in California.
It was a case at the debate on Tuesday evening, where Shif throws a couple of panches in Garve, especially when Shif tried to connect Garve to former President Donald Trump, a figure has tried to escape the campaign mark.
“I agree with Mr. Garve that we should be a torch of democracy,” said Shif. “But how is this possible with Donald Trump, how is it possible that Mr. Garve repeatedly supported?”
