"A single payer system is the right goal but it's not possible under this administration, and right now we have a crisis on our hands, said a Becerra campaign spokesperson in a recent statement."
"I haven't changed. And so those reports were inaccurate. I continue to be for Medicare for All, Becerra stated during the debate."
"The very fact that Becerra's stance on the issue is no longer clear should be disqualifying, Porter noted during her remarks."
"Hilton brought up the federal indictment of Becerra's former chief of staff, Sean McCluskie, and a former campaign manager Dana Williamson, who have been charged with skimming money from a campaign account."
During the governor's race primary debate, Katie Porter sought to differentiate herself while Xavier Becerra became the main target of criticism. A recent poll showed Becerra leading the Democratic field, prompting attacks on his recent shift away from supporting Medicare for All. Becerra's campaign spokesperson stated that a single-payer system is the right goal but not feasible currently. Other candidates, including Republicans, also criticized Becerra on various issues, including legal troubles involving his former staff. Porter emphasized that Becerra's unclear stance should be disqualifying.
