"Fox News' Karl Rove gave California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter (D) no quarter during a Thursday morning appearance on America Reports. Porter is enduring a disastrous news cycle that began when she melted down after a local reporter asked her an anodyne question about what she might say to Trump voters, and only got worse after Politico reported on a video of her berating a staffer."
"Well, it confirms what we know about her, which is she's a very unpleasant person. Remember, she ran for Senate last time around in 2024 in the Democrat-, you know they have a jungle primary about there, everybody runs. She spent $31 million and got 15% of the vote. And Adam Schiff spent $35 million and got 31% of vote, replied Rove."
"It says something about it that, look, she's an unpleasant person, we've known that from the day that she entered the U.S. House of Representatives. This merely affirms it, and she's going nowhere, in my opinion, and she was going, I think, nowhere before because knowledgeable Democrats in California knew what a nasty person she is. What this says is, is look, she is not going to be a player. She's going to have an insignificant role."
Katie Porter was labeled an unpleasant politician and predicted to be politically insignificant. Her campaign faced controversy after she reacted poorly to a local reporter's question about outreach to Trump voters and after a video surfaced showing her berating a staffer. Her 2024 Senate primary performance drew scrutiny: she spent $31 million and received 15% of the vote, while Adam Schiff spent $35 million and received 31%. Observers said the incidents reinforce negative perceptions dating to her House tenure, suggested her support is unlikely to grow, and indicated other Democrats might enter the California gubernatorial race.
