""From the moment Katie set foot in my consumer law class, I knew that she would be a warrior for working families," Warren said in a statement, citing Porter's work on the foreclosure crisis as well as her questioning of corporate leaders and members of the Trump administration while wielding a white board in hearings when she represented an Orange County district in Congress."
""No one will stand up to Trump with more grit and determination than Katie," Warren said. "But just as importantly, she will champion the kind of bold, progressive vision that California workers and families deserve." The endorsement comes on the cusp of the California Democratic Party's convention in San Francisco this weekend, at a time that there is no true front-runner in the crowded race to replace termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorsed former Rep. Katie Porter for California governor, citing Porter's consumer protection work and leadership during the foreclosure crisis. Warren highlighted Porter's forceful questioning of corporate leaders and members of the Trump administration, often using a white board in hearings while representing an Orange County district. Warren emphasized Porter's determination to stand up to President Trump and to champion a bold progressive vision for California workers and families. The endorsement arrives as the California Democratic Party prepares for its convention amid a crowded, leaderless race to replace termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom. Porter previously faced criticism after videos showed her scolding a reporter and swearing at an aide; she expressed remorse. Porter endorsed Warren during the 2020 presidential campaign, which caused consternation among some California Democrats.
