Democratic Rep. Katie Porter of California could be in danger of losing her House seat as the race has shifted in the GOP's direction, according to a nonpartisan political forecaster.

The Cook Political Report on Tuesday released a new analysis that moved California's 47th congressional district from a "lean Democratic" rating to a "toss-up," showing signs that Porter might not cruise to reelection.

Porter, a progressive Democrat seeking a third term, has become a breakout star within her party in recent years, attracting widespread support. She's often gone viral on social media for using a whiteboard during committee hearings to grill witnesses on a variety of issues, from healthcare to COVID-19 to jobs.

This area of Orange County used to be Republican +7-10%. All that changed when ballot harvesting became legal in California.

I’ve never heard of her.

well, she’s gone “viral” a lot with that white board that supposedly people believe provides significant revelations that she can just wow people during hearings with it.

I live in Huntington Beach. After ousting Dim Harley Rouda for R Michelle Steel, I got redistricted into Katie Porker’s district. Working on getting her fat ass out, replaced by Scott Baugh.

I’d recommend low carb and consistent workouts.

She sounds like a dyke from Wisconsin in her commercials, but we found out she had a boyfriend because she hit some cop who was trying to arrest him.

“but we found out she had a boyfriend because she hit some cop who was trying to arrest him.”

Her boyfriend hit a protester. Porter then trashed the Irvine cops responding to the incident. Called them a “disgrace”. It’s not going over well in the district.

Yes, I've seen that clip too. She is a hard core Libtard. Her main focus is abortion & now demonizing the oil companies for price gouging. I'm hoping, big time, that she loses. It will be tough though.

I used to live in Katie Porker’s district - the seat she stole from Mimi Walters with harvested ballots. I too figured she had it in the bag for the same reason - many ads for her, against Scott Baugh, no ads for him at all - so this story is a surprise. Have moved out of her district, but would LOVE for her to lose!

I'm sure he appreciates the donations.

It won't be easy, but hopefully he will squeak out a win.
