Great news!
She needs the cred of a governor or Senate run. She tried for a Senate run, but Schiff, the ficus plant impersonator, stood in the way. She has accomplished a lot as a Representative…

Playing devil’s advocate: Is this a genuine bid for leadership or just a rebound from her Senate loss? Porter’s great at grilling CEOs, but running California is about complex governance, not soundbites. Her style may excite progressives, but could alienate moderates and swing voters. Is she ready or just staying relevant?
She appears to have the intellectual capacity to do it; I think she’s taking on any opportunities that come her way, and not waiting for the corporate owners of the Dem Party to offer her assistance -because she won’t get it from them!
It sure would be nice if Sanders did a tour stop for her; I think her approach is somewhat refreshing, as opposed to Newsom’s consensus building with MAGA bros. That might be quasi-valid if you are running for President, but governor of California? Yes, there are MAGAs there, but nothing in comparison to Indies and Blue Dogs. And now, after this tariff fiasco? They don’t even have much of MAGAs there now. She fights for workers, and that is something MAGA workers will always respect.
And has Sanders done a stop for Mamdani in NYC? The Dem primary there is on June 24th.
It appears AOC is haggling with him??
