Katie Porter prepared for the wrong war

An insider’s guide to how Katie Porter’s whiteboard wiped out. Rep. Katie Porter rode her message of “burn the system down” to a distant third-place finish on Tuesday.

By Melanie Mason and Christopher Cadelago 03/10/2024

 

Katie Porter is ending her Senate campaign the same way she started it: by pissing off members of her own party.

 

She enraged the Democratic establishment from the get-go, jumping into the race in January 2023 before Sen. Dianne Feinstein had announced her plans to leave. Party loyalists were galled at the lack of deference to the elder senator, who would pass away months later.

 

Now,Porter’s insistence that she lost Tuesday’s primary because it was “rigged” by a deluge of special-interest spending is igniting a swift backlash from Democrats who— in the era of Donald Trump’s election denialism — seethed at any insinuation of a stolen election.

 

“There was nothing in this election that was rigged,” said Antonio Villaraigosa, the former Los Angeles mayor and a supporter of Adam Schiff, who finished in the top two and is expected to win the seat. “And virtually everyone knows that.”

Katie Porter: Schiff, Garvey used 'every trick' to win California primary

 

The bookends of her ill-fated campaign are quintessentially Katie Porter: allergic to political niceties, relishing a fight with the old guard and then punching the gas on her messy minivan as she peels out of the D.C. swamp — possibly for good. Her “pox on all their houses” attitude was core to her brand as a politician and would have made her a more formidable candidate in a head-to-head Senate matchup with fellow Democratic Rep. Schiff.

 

But that was not the race she had to win. Porter rode her message of “burn the system down” to a distant third-place finish on Tuesday.

 

This account of her downfall is based on interviews with eight campaign officials and outside close supporters who were granted anonymity to openly discuss the deliberations of her losing bid, as well as several other people involved in the race.

 

The voters most energized by her scathing systemic critiques — younger, more diverse, less loyal to party labels — largely didn’t show up in a primary that skewed far older, whiter and more conservative than California’s typical electorate.

 

“She was preaching to a choir that wasn’t going to show up and sing,” said Nathan Barankin, a Democratic strategist who worked for a super PAC backing Rep. Barbara Lee.

 

Wielding her miniature whiteboard and excoriating corporate fat cats, Porter became a viral sensation after flipping a battleground House seat in Orange County in 2018. At 50, she’s youthful by Washington standards, and insiders in California are already buzzing about her next moves and speculating over whether her disgruntled exit from the race would harm her reputation.

 

In the Senate race, public and private polls showed her in the game until the home stretch when mail-in ballots started dropping in February. But by that point, she had shifted into neutral and was quickly running out of gas. Porter was done in by Schiff’s three-part formula for winning: A prolific fundraiser who ran an anti-Donald Trump message and secured the early support of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Schiff boosted himself and spent millions alongside allies promoting Republican Steve Garvey, while deep-pocketed corporate supporters pelted Porter with attack ads…..

FLASHBACK: Late-Night Host Johnny Carson Knew Biden Was A Fraud 36 Years Ago

By Chris Powell March 9, 2024

 

Legendary late-night television host Johnny Carson once cast a spotlight on a controversy that would follow then-Senator Joseph Biden for decades. The focus of his monologue? Senator Joseph Biden, a Democratic candidate embroiled in a controversy.

 

“One of the Democratic candidates is Senator Joseph Biden. Have you seen the problem he’s been having?” Carson began.

 

“He went around and made a speech. And apparently, he quoted, I think it was a British politician, took his speech and kind of paraphrased it as his own. And then the press got on him. And then he was charged also with taking part of Bobby Kennedy’s speeches.”

 

Carson then delivered a great punchline. “And Biden says, not to worry, he reassured his staff. He said, ‘we have nothing to fear, but fear itself,'” he quipped, cleverly intertwining the controversy with a famous quote attributed to Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Biden Mulls Stripping US Army Funds to Arm Ukraine

 

Monday, March 11, 2024

 

The Biden government is considering stripping $200 million in reserve funds from the US Army budget to finance Ukraine’s war efforts. Though it would provide only a fraction of the ‘aid’ currently sought by the Biden regime, the move is highly significant,representing a willingness to prioritize Ukraine’s defense over US domestic defense spending.

 

The potential move comes as Ukraine’s defensive resources are dwindling, and Ukrainian forces are retreating across the country’s eastern front lines. Despite some European countries stepping up efforts to bridge a substantial gap amid halted US arms supplies, Ukraine is still running low on critical supplies.

 

The European Union’s promise from a year ago to deliver one million rounds of ammunition has yet to be fulfilled, increasing the demand on European defense companies to enhance production and infrastructure. Amid these struggles, Senator Ron Johnson recently called on Ukraine to provide a plan for how potential funding would be used to conclude the conflict, echoing a growing demand for accountability regarding financial aid for Ukraine.

 

The Biden government remains dedicated to continuing US involvement in Ukraine’s war with Russia — at the expense of US military preparedness — despite Russian warnings that continued Western interference could spark a full-scale war in Europe.
