On stage, he repeatedly argued he was uniquely qualified to take on President Donald Trump given his experience suing the first Trump administration as attorney general.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the real menace to California,\u201d Becerra said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Becerra\u2019s rivals sought to make that tenure a liability by questioning his management style, his focus on Trump, the origins of his political contributions and a corruption scandal involving a top aide.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, who has ticked up in polls but remains in the single digits, was Becerra\u2019s loudest adversary.

Former Rep. Katie Porter pressed him over his commitment to single-payer healthcare after KQED reported Becerra privately told the California Medical Association that he would not press for the policy as governor. And former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa questioned Becerra\u2019s role in a corruption scandal involving a former aide who pleaded guilty to siphoning funds from Becerra\u2019s dormant campaign account to pad his salary.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Becerra reiterated that he had no knowledge of the scheme and had not been accused of wrongdoing. He said he still supported a path to single-payer health insurance and accused Steyer of hypocrisy when it came to the Chevron donation, noting Steyer made millions from investments in fossil fuels that he\u2019s used to self-fund his campaign.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<div> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScem0xfF1rapwAWKqWjd5-WVXiVTbOqjdGNI4DFfN-KnJsQDw\/viewform?embedded=true\" width=\"100%\">Loading\u2026<\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Chad Bianco defends his membership in a far-right militia<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican running a few points behind Hilton, has previously acknowledged he joined the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group, in 2014.
