That whiteboard was her downfall. She believed way too much into the hype, and rather than keep growing within the party, she got ambitious. Only 4 yrs in, and not aware enough to know there were certain voting coalitions that were not feeling her. California is a juggernaut of a state to try that.
I call bullshit on those that did not embrace her. Many of us from all over the country we cheering her on and feeling seen by her. Please, please don't dissappear. We need you.
You need more than being seen by a subgroup to win elections. You need to be seen by all! The odds were stacked against her, and she should have seen that. What a waste of a powerful Washington voice. I hope she sticks around and makes a difference in politics.
Katie Porter will be amazing at whatever she does. California is lucky to have her. I was rooting for her for Senator but she’s still on a path to do great things
Great things are in store for you, Rep. Katie Porter!
You were taught by the best, Sen. Elizabeth Warren. You've excelled to the hilt with your charts in House committees, speaking Truth soo many of The Most Powerful.Those masterful times, taught by you, have been succhhh a joy to watch.
Wow! This is a stunner! We will miss you on #@thelastword.bsky.social @velshimsnbc.bsky.social We will miss your whiteboards and stand out financial, teaching lessons! Thank you for all you have given our country and your community. #RepKatiePorter @katieporteroc.bsky.social
At 3000 miles away from California, it seems to me that if she was unable to win a Senate seat, that doesn't bode well for winning the governorship. Not at this point, anyway. But she'd probably be pretty good at it.
She will be there with the Whiteboard! I think she should call it The Whiteboard Report with Katie Porter. Or something like that. If it happens, I said it first.
oh how awful. i love hearing her talk. she’s smart as a whip, breaks things down in a way that laypeople can understand. I hope she runs for office again soon; maybe a different position. state senator or us senator? I’d love to see her be a Secretary of Transportation or something equally important
I am very sad to see her go. Even though I’m not a constituent she and her whiteboard became a powerhouse for the country. I hope to she her return in an even bigger role! Good luck Katie! 💙
I hope you’re wrong but my gut says otherwise. I hope to see her locking arms with Shapiro, Jeffries, or Crockett as the next leaders of our fractured party.
It only really showed that billionaires in media don’t want a woman president. They poisoned the well, but only a third of the country actually voted for Trump.
I don't gush over many women in Congress, but she, along with @repjasmine.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social are my top 3 to gush over. We will miss her whiteboard!
Goddammit. We need Ms. Porter badly. I was disappointed she ran for senator, though I understood, but it was unlikely she'd be able to beat Schiff, not with Newsome's backing. It was unfair and sucked, but now we've lost her entirely.
IDK. In the end I think her true colors came out with accusations of rigged elections. She's a populist who preached to a choir that didn't come out and sing for her. Never should have taken on Schiff who's a much more established Dem. I did like how she ruffled RusPublican feathers though.
She needs to run again in the midterms. I think a Senate seat would be best for her, but at minimum, she needs to get back into office. We need people like her in, not on the outside looking in. I would say run for governor, but that may be too much with so many big names already considering it.
She’s too good not to be back! Wishing you well and thank you for your fighting spirit and all the knowledge you imparted. You will be missed, Rep. Porter.
Thank you Katie for everything you did while serving the people in your district as well as the American people. Take a break, breathe, reconnect with your family, then run for office in 2 years. Maybe Governor of California!
Thank You Katie!! You are a force to be reckoned with. Never lose your strong, sensible,voice. Never lose your white board. America needs more genuine humans like you. Double praise for doing all you do while being a single Mom, more power to ya. Peace.
In March 2012, California attorney general Kamala Harris appointed Porter to be the state's independent monitor of banks in a nationwide $25 billion mortgage settlement. As monitor, she oversaw the banks' implementation of $9.5 billion in settlement reforms for Californians. She was a good one👍
What a great way to lose no matter who wins. Only we could shoot ourselves in the foot like that.
She should have bided her time. Hope she can make it back in somewhere.
I'm so thankful. We are a household with 2 parents who work hard to raise great kids. Sometimes I think families like ours fly under the radar because we are too busy and exhausted to advocate. She's amazing to balance all of this as a single working mom.
I posted on her FB page multiple times begging her to stop her campaign. She was so badly needed in red Orange County and a very important member of the House. I so wish she had listened. 😢😢
Katie Porter is a Powerhouse. She always comes armed with the FACTS & will not back down from making them known. I hope we see much more of her. She is deserving of a Leadership role of some kind. Her presence will be missed.
She’s a financial expert, & gave lectures to the aholes in congress with her signature white board!
I’m sure it’s not the last we’re hearing from Rep Katie! She’s too much of a badass to go quietly back to being a law professor!
I was highly impressed by Representative Porter's strong performance and insightful contributions during committee hearings. Thank you for your service Katie Porter and I look forward to see and hear from you again. Your continued engagement with us is noted and appreciated.

Taking money from Zionist should be considered political suicide.

Onward!
IMO someone should have stepped in and stopped this from happening.
It really shows what people think of women doesn't it?
But I too cannot wait to see what the next chapter has in store for her.
Thank you Rep. Katie Porter
🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🏞️💙
ThankYou to Lawrence O’Donnell for first making me aware of Rep Katie Porter.
What a hero.
Best wishes for her next chapter
Didn’t she run again?
She should have bided her time. Hope she can make it back in somewhere.
