Back to EpisodesCandidates Boycott USC Debate over Diversity Snub
Description
Four Democratic candidates for California governor are calling for a boycott of a debate at USC, alleging biased invitation rules that excluded prominent candidates of color. The debate, set for Tuesday, will air statewide and is hosted by USC, KABC-TV, and Univision. USC defends its criteria as data-driven and developed by a political science professor, denying favoritism. The boycott call highlights frustrations in a crowded primary field, with excluded candidates arguing voters deserve to hear from minority voices. The standoff could reshape how candidates reach voters, as the primary nears.
