"The eight candidates for California governor are participating in the second televised debate, ahead of the June 2, 2026 primary elections, but the Democrats largely failed to differentiate themselves."
"California is preparing to share with an outside organization detailed information about driver's license holders, including immigrants who do not have legal authorization to live in the U.S."
"State officials confirmed they plan to share the data, which breaks a promise made a decade ago when it began issuing licenses to unauthorized immigrants."
Eight candidates participated in a California gubernatorial debate, focusing on issues like cost of living and health care. Democrats failed to present distinct policies and avoided criticizing Governor Newsom. Republican candidates Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco targeted Newsom and the Democratic leadership. Additionally, California plans to share driver's license information, including data on unauthorized immigrants, raising concerns about potential deportation risks for over a million individuals.
