California Senate candidates grilled in second debate, asked if Biden and Trump are too old

LA Times  

Who could replace the late California Sen. Dianne Feinstein in this year’s election? Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee and Republican candidate Steve Garvey all faced sharp questions from moderators: Porter was asked if she waited too long to propose solutions to California’s housing crisis; Lee about her support for a $50 minimum wage and whether it would be sustainable for small businesses; and Garvey pressured to say if he would accept Trump’s endorsement, were it offered. A new advertising campaign from Schiff and his supporters focuses on Garvey, calling him “too conservative for California” and loyal to Trump — a strategy likely to boost the political newcomer’s profile among Republicans. “My own children are questioning whether they’re going to be able to live in California when they graduate from high school because of the high cost of living,” Porter said. The moderators, KTLA 5’s Frank Buckley and Fox 40’s Nikki Laurenzo, asked Schiff whether he thought progressive criminal justice reforms, including the elimination of cash bail for nonviolent crime and the reduction of some felony crimes to misdemeanors, had “gone too far.” Schiff said there is “no question that we have a crime problem in California, particularly these smash-and-grab robberies,” but said the data do not suggest that progressive criminal justice reforms are to blame.
