I have attended early meet and greets by Katie Porte, probably over 5 different meetings to find a candidate I could support. She took questions, asked that we come up to the podium to ask questions. She answered all questions directly! She had great eye contact! She was very warm & approachable! She came out into the audience and shook people's hands and said Hello. I ran into her at Zov's restaurant in Tustin at lunch, I stopped to say Hi, she was very warm and appreciative. This is a very interesting story. I attended a rally at her headquarters which was attended by Gavin Newsom, Mark Kelly & Gabby. It was a packed house that over flowed into the back alley. She lives here in Irvine, she is a single mom and has gone through financial & relationship hardships. When she would speak to a crowd, I always thought she was the "real deal"! Yes, I too thought her Senate run was ill timed but that's for someone smarter than me to figure out why she did. I will support her and vote for her, unless Kamala runs for Governor. As I said, this was an interesting article....
I would have found it more interesting if it hadn’t been reliant on a single heavy-handed quote and completely speculative. Your comment holds more value to me than the article, tbh.
Somebody with actual 1:1 experience with Porter should be writing it.
Rouda’s comparison between Katie Porter and Marjorie Taylor Greene is obscene. It’s as bad as those people who don’t see the difference between AOC and Marjorie Taylor Green. Moreover, this notion that Democrats must reach “across the aisle“ is now patently ridiculous. The Republican Party is entirely made up today of the spineless or zombies. They have overseen the destruction of our constitutional republic. We need intelligent, articulate fighters, and KatiePorter is one of them.

I would agree and go even further. Harley

I’d love to see Kamala Harris enter the race.
