When Pelosi endorsed Schiff for Senate, that killed Porter's Senate run.

If so you are absolutely correct!

You're good!

Not much chance for a rethug in deep blue California.

If Vance was also struck down. After the new congress makes Hakeem Jeffries (or whatever Democrat) Speaker of the House. Hey, the Speaker doesn’t have to be a House member. We could make it Hillary or Kamala. Or even Bernie. Haha.

Her administrative staff will be the best ever assembled.

Texas has had 2. Which is surprising also. Miriam "Ma" Ferguson (https://www.humanitiestexas.org/programs/tx-originals/list/miriam-ma-ferguson#:~:text=Miriam%20%22Ma%22%20Ferguson%20(%20Miriam%20Amanda%20Wallace,Ann%20Richards%20as%20its%20second%20woman%20governor.

And of course Ann Richards. (https://texaspolitics.utexas.edu/archive/html/exec/governors/31.html )

and while she'll probably be the best possible Governor, I was hoping she'd run for President. Although Governor then President works.

I was very pleased to read that Kamala has decided against running for governor.

That move puts wind in Katie's sails, big time!

The current Lieutenant Governor and the former speaker of the assembly.

Both have garnered a bunch of endorsements from various state Dems, Katie currently has none.

Don’t know about how their campaign cash compares.

Katie will need all the grass roots support she can get, because she doesn’t take PAC cash, and I’m assuming the tech bros aren’t going to back her.

Remember, California has a “jungle” primary, so all Katie has to do is come in second to make it to the general,

As far as votes, I’m not so sure how big of an impact it will have.

Katie Getting endorsements from major progressives, both in CA and nationally (like AOC) could help.

From the article:

Xavier Becera, Tony Thurmond (Superintendent of Education), Whats-her-name the current Lt. Governor among others.

California has a jungle primary - it's possible that next year will see two Dems running against each other.

I was surprised at the very low percentages she got.

Her tenure at her last Congress rep position was spotty, as it was reported she really alienated people from employees to colleagues. She did win that conservative district in Orange County which is a significant feat, but her political instincts weren’t the best in office.

I’ll hold off on crowning her just yet. Hopefully she will not make this about empty attacks on other Democrats.

Katie Porter's money dried up. All the donors went with Schiff. Porter has a good chance at the donors this time around.

California is an insanely expensive media market. "Donations:" (bribes) from the tech bros and AIPAC are going to go a long ways in this race.

ran her campaign, not really endorsements. She alienated lot of people by choosing to accuse others of being corrupt. Let’s hope she doesn’t make the same mistakes, but you can already tell her same band is warming up by the comments about fundraising in the thread.

Katie has a lot of baggage, both personally and professionally. She received very mild treatment the last time during a statewide election, all while trashing other Democrats. The election results showed how much she miscalculated the electorate.

That really hurt her.

A very unfortunate turn from someone who held high regard from so many.

Calling Schiff corrupt was so insane. It was such a turnoff and poor choice, especially when she had so much actual personal and professional baggage that others didn’t use against her.

I don't care for that saying "Maybe you won't ever have to vote again"

Interesting, the sfchronicle is usually paywalled. Wasn't this time.
If it is for you, use the archive. https://archive.is/cRZ16

And the states run the elections…they aren’t going to be canceled.

Even late calls are tricky.



And then there was 2015.

He's not even speaking for the San Francisco Chronicle itself.

Like WAPO



I'll do the right thing come election time.

The good thing is Republicans have no chance of winning.

before I decide on my choice. 🤔

I’m looking forward to hearing from all those seeking the nomination.

She kind of flamed out in the Senate race, then was a sore loser. Not a good look.

I think Katie Porter knows she flubbed her Senate campaign by attacking fellow Dems, and has changed her tone. This time she is reserving her criticisms for Trump, at least for now. She may not need to attack the other Dems running. A March poll that excluded Harris showed Porter with a 28-point lead, leading across audiences and party lines. The poll of Democrats and No Party Preference primary voters shows her winning a commanding 36 points, with all other announced or likely Democratic candidates polling in single digits. https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:5b318f9d-9976-4f88-8c25-77b1e11141e2
