Summary

The California gubernatorial debate went exactly how you would expect. Democrats deflecting blame and re-running the same tired talking points instead of offering real solutions to California’s mounting list of problems. Climate sermons from private jet flyers, tax the rich rhetoric from billionaires, and homelessness solutions from leaders of failed cities who still think more government is the answer, all while blaming Donald Trump for nearly everything. And not a SINGLE mention of the rampant fraud in the state from the Democrats. Yet another reminder of why so many voters feel frustrated with the direction of the state. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.
