    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.

      If she isn’t the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.

      Harris is going to run and don’t you know this was her promised consolation prize. So sorry progressives, maybe in a 100 years when everyone in line in front of you dies?

        Has she confirmed? I haven’t seen anything yet. Amy did well enough in the senate race. But she won’t beat Kamala if she runs. The power has shifted to NorCal/Bay area politicians to win elections.

          She hasn’t confirmed yet but that’s how the corporate political caste does things. They use the “soft announcement” to start testing messaging and campaign ideas. Then when they publicly decide they’re actually running they can denounce anything from before that.
