Katie Porter is one of the very few good guys. She'd be a terrific governor for California, so I expect the Democratic Party will do all they can to oppose her.

All she has to do is tell me she's not going to fuck over consumers with regards to solar to protect regionally monopolistic power conglomerates who are literally killing people due to old equipment in wild fire corridors. Fuck Gavin Newsome.
I would love to see PG&E get their asses handed to them.
Eh, they just pass all the pain on to consumers
Oh, in that case I suppose they should be allowed to continue killing people.
you're not imagining a wide enough ass kicking here. i want them take over by the state lol
I’m so sick of Democrats ripping off a mask to reveal they’re Republican.
I’d like for once it to be the other way around, or for a Dem to rip it off and reveal they’re even further left.
Isn’t the “rep” here for representative as she is a democrat?
Yes. I was referring to Newsom.
There's no financial incentive in doing that, so it's going to disproportionately be politicians moving to the right.
I'm on board if she brings a whiteboard and schools people after putting forth actual legislation based on real data. She'll be amazing in any political seat she is elected to.
Anybody but the traiterous incumbant Gavin Newsom, who just threw trans people under the bus.
Anybody but the traiterous incumbant Gavin Newsom,
He's term-limited. He won't be the next governor of California.
Californians will vote for a new governor in 2026. That person will replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who cannot run for another term for this office. Newsom’s current term will end early January 2027, according to Ballotpedia.
I read an article earlier suggesting that Newsom's potentially trying to position himself for a Presidential run, which might explain the trans thing.
if he runs for President in 2028 I'm not voting for him. I've been an obedient progressive and held my nose voting for Clinton, Biden and Harris, but as a trans woman there's no way in hell I'm putting up with his shit, after the hate he's spewed. I'm just done.
Yeah, I don't know. If the DNC/base collectively choose another centrist corporate republic-lite for the candidate, I'm going to fucking lose it. Can't wait to see the voter blaming in 2029.
Don't forget when he helped clear homeless camps with the cops.Been garbage since he was mayor of SanFran with an equally garbage DA. Remember those days? I do. Three Strikes disproportionately harmed people of color and sex workers, especially the trans ones, by design.
Wasn't she the single mother raging against people deciding on single mother issues without even having a shred of knowledge on it? That was great.
He's got a good chance because she's extremely popular outside of core Democratic hubs. Ita going to be a question of if she is willing to buck the system. Frankly, after the ratfucking of 2024, I think she could make real waves running as an independent; as a Democrat she'll be open to the same weaknesses as we saw in the 2024 campaign.:DNC power brokers will quite litterally support fascists in their ability to win elections rather than have their own power challenged.
In California they don't do partisan primaries for state office. It will be her versus Harris the entire way no matter what she writes down for party affiliation.
I can see Newsome already planning a 2028 run. She doesn’t seem like the type to challenge the party incumbent. He will most likely endorse her and focus on the 2028 campaign.
