When California Democrats meet at the state party's convention in Long Beach next week, they will be without two top presidential contenders.
Chairman Rusty Hicks announced on Twitter Tuesday night that Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will join former Vice President Joe Biden in declining the party's invitation to appear on stage for a Nov. 16 presidential forum hosted by Univision, a Spanish-language network.
Hicks chastised the candidates' move to skip the event, calling it a "misguided decision to publicly snub California's Democrats & Latino Voters across the nation."
