California Democratic leaders demand inclusive USC gubernatorial debate, criticizing exclusion of candidates of color based on USCs selection formula. Candidates like Matt Mahan, despite low poll numbers, make the cut, while heavyweights like Xavier Becerra, Antonio Villaraigosa, Tony Thurmond, and Betty Yee are left out. USC and partners defend the criteria, but questions remain about donor links and advisor ties. As the debate approaches, the controversy highlights deeper divisions in the governors race.
