If you thought Gavin Newsom was a piece of work, wait till you meet the lady who is the leading candidate to replace him.
Watch this segment of a CBS News special about the California gubernatorial candidates:
I've watched the entirety of The Office and Parks and Rec, and I've never seen anything as cringe-inducing as this lady's refusal to just be a normal person and answer questions.
Katie Porter, the radical Dem known for promoting abortion as an inflation buster, dismissing the murder of Laken Riley, and for being an election denier (when she's the loser), and being an accused "abusive and racist boss," apparently has no idea how to be on the receiving end of an interview.
She's not making the abusive boss claims any less believable here.
If you watch the full episode from CBS News Sacramento, you'll see that they asked all of the candidates the same questions. The other candidates were more than willing to answer the question about reaching Trump voters.
With over a dozen primary candidates having announced a bid for governor in the 2026 election (Gov. Gavin Newsom is not eligible to run again), Porter is the leading candidate according to an August 2025 poll from Emerson College. A POLITICO survey from the same month showed that 30% of former Kamala Harris voters shifted their support to Porter after Harris ruled out any run for governor.
Surely California wouldn't actually elect her though ... right?
