The debate is being broadcast live across CBS-owned stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara, and on CBS News 24/7.
Tuesday’s debate at Pomona College showcases the largest confirmed number of participants to date , including Democrats Xavier Becerra, Matt Mahan, Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, Tony Thurmond and Antonio Villaraigosa, and Republicans Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton.
The debate provides pivotal screen time for candidates to earn Californians’ votes just five weeks before the June 2 primary election. California has an open primary, meaning the top two vote-getters will head to the November general election, regardless of party affiliation.
