California attorney general candidates spar over immigration, the Second Amendment and Trump

Debating his three election opponents for the first time, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra took criticism from all sides during a candidates forum Tuesday that featured sharp clashes over the state's fight with the Trump administration and disagreements about the very purpose of the powerful office. Put on by the BizFed Institute with sponsorship by the Southern California News Group, and moderated by SCNG Opinion editor Scott Kaufman, the 70-minute debate kept returning to the question of whether Becerra focuses too much on battling President Trump on policies that clash with California's on immigration law enforcement, environmental policies and health care.
