California GOP Rep. David Valadao is slated to be the only candidate in attendance at Wednesday’s scheduled debate after Democratic state Assemblyman Rudy Salas unexpectedly pulled out of the event, saying he would not appear onstage with the California Republican due to his frustrations over a campaign ad alleging he supported raising prescription drug prices.
“My argument is, well, no, you're taxing people who need this drug for quality-of-life issues, cancer patients and others, and you're taxing them to pay for other people's mistakes, and that's not appropriate,” he told the Washington Examiner in an interview. In lieu of the initial debate plans, the station is now scheduled to hold a 30-minute discussion with the GOP congressman, with the station leaving the door open for Salas to change his mind.
“We did a forum, which was with one of our local editorial boards, and that forum was on Zoom, and we were both on together. I think they recorded it, but they said that wasn't going to be released,” he said. “They recorded it for their own notes so that they would have the quotes accurate when they wrote up their endorsement.
