I kinda doubt that Porter aligns more with the average Californian. Remember, we are the state with the most Republicans which would also mean more moderates. I think Kamala's less liberal/progressiveness would appeal to conservatives over Porter. On the other hand, there was so much crap slung at Kamala, I could imagine conservatives not wanting her failing to comprehend that she's better aligned to their ideals than Porter.

    Porter's advantage is her ability to communicate. I think she could easily convince moderates and Republicans to swing her way.

    Up against someone like Harris it would be a tough battle. Harris has the money and is already well established both state and country-wide.

    True, I'm wondering how many neolibs and moderates would prefer other options. Republicans likely won't care much about the primary, but those groups do make up a fair amount of California too. Though I don't even remember who Gavin was up against.

    I do remember the Governator, though. Ugh
