"Age Limits for Elected Officials Debated in California Senate Candidate Showdown"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Los Angeles Times
In a televised debate, California's U.S. Senate candidates faced tough questions, including whether President Biden and former President Trump are too old to run for reelection. Reps. Katie Porter, Barbara Lee, and Republican candidate Steve Garvey defended their positions on various issues, while Rep. Adam B. Schiff avoided a pointed question on criminal justice reforms. With ballots already mailed out, the candidates are vying to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, with recent polling showing Schiff in the lead. The debate also highlighted differences in the candidates' views on key issues such as housing, minimum wage, and criminal justice reform.
