The only real good news out of open Senate races in California is that some terrible Democrat always ends up out of office while chasing the job. This time, that terrible Democrat is Rep. Katie Porter.
Along with communist sympathizer Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Porter is now headed out of office in November after falling short of the top two spots in California’s jungle primary. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) will most likely go on to win the seat over Republican Steve Garvey, which is terrible news for the country, but that at least means Porter will not be in the Senate or House in the near future.
Porter exemplifies everything wrong with the Democratic Party in its current iteration. She is a smug “woke” politician who lectures everyone on race while asserting that she is better for black women than black women are. She is an abortion fanatic to the point that she thinks the fact that inflation can happen means poor women must be able to kill their unborn children.

Most recently, Porter argued the death of Laken Riley in Georgia allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant should not influence immigration policy because it is simply one event — despite that same logic being thrown out the window by Porter and her fellow Democrats when they stand on the bodies of those killed in a shooting to push unrelated gun control measures. And just like Porter thinks she is better for black women than black women, she also thinks she is better for women than female veterans who happen to be Republicans.
It makes this loss all the sweeter knowing Porter burned through nearly $28 million not to come even close to the top two runoff. Porter is one of the most toxic partisans in politics, and a Senate seat in California is about the closest thing to a lifetime gig there is in politics. We could have been stuck with a Sen. Katie Porter for another 40 or so years. Instead, we are going to get a welcome two-year reprieve until she inevitably tries to revive her mediocre political career.
