How to watch the CA Gubernatorial Debate which starts in 2 hours and 20 minutes

CBS California invited all candidates with active campaigns who are listed on the ballot and had at least 1% support in both Emerson College and L.A. Times/UC Berkeley polls. The participants are Xavier Becerra (D), Chad Bianco (R), Steve Hilton (R), Matt Mahan (D), Katie Porter (D), Tom Steyer (D), Tony Thurmond (D) and Antonio Villaraigosa (D).


The governor's debate begins at 5:30 p.m. PDT and will be broadcast live across CBS-owned stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. A pre-show, "Countdown to the Debate," will start 30 minutes before the debate at 5 p.m.

"Countdown to the Debate" will showcase candidate arrivals covered by reporters. CBS Los Angeles anchors Rudabeh Shahbazi and Juan Fernandez will join reporters Tom Wait and Laurie Perez from the virtual AR/VR election center, while CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys Anthony Salvanto will report live from Pomona College.

The debate will be streamed on CBSLA.com, CBS Bay Area, CBS Sacramento and CBS News 24/7, and its YouTube channels. Local CBS streams can be found on Paramount +, The Roku App and Pluto TV.

I set my TV to record it.

I was going to vote for Swalwell. (who knew?) sheesh.

I don't want to vote for a Billionaire. That is not what this country needs. Maybe he can change my mind.

I keep hearing good things about Becerra, but I don't know much about him.

I like Katie Porter, so I'm interested in seeing how well she debates.

So, I really need to see this. Thanks again !

He's pretty progressive in some areas and pragmatic in others. I think he's the best to run our very consequential state.
If he doesn't get the nom then I'll vote for whoever does.
