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
