Why we checked itHilton asserts Javier Becerra/opponent has avoided public appearances for four months since the primary — a specific, verifiable claim about a candidate's public activity that could mislead voters about the opponent's conduct.
What we foundThe core claim is substantially accurate — Becerra ran a deliberately low-profile campaign after the June primary — but the word 'barely' overstates the case, as multiple sources confirm he did make some public appearances and increased his public engagement after Labor Day.
