Overview
- Following Tuesday's combative debate, contrasts on housing, Israel/Gaza and Taiwan were laid bare.
- On Israel and Gaza, Wiener supports only defensive aid, Chan rejects offensive arms, and Chakrabarti opposes all U.S. military funding.
- Candidates traded jabs over Chakrabarti’s residency, as mailers tied to pro-Wiener donors cast him as a Maryland resident and he called the attacks misleading.
- Money loomed large, with Wiener reporting $2.7 million raised, Chakrabarti putting in over $1.4 million of his own, and Chan trailing in cash.
- Voting begins in early May under California’s top-two rules, with the June 2 primary set to winnow the field to two for November.
