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.

Maybe they’ll have a need for her white board skills in the private sector.

She didnt win the seat in 2018.

It was one of the trial runs of the Big Steal.

The only thing happening now is that she cant count on that this election.

Weird. I see many commercials for Katie Porter and against her opponent who is supposed to be a lobbyist and criminal.

I see a few ads against her, but nothing in favor of her opponent.

I would assume that Porter has it in the bag. But if she doesn't this could be a sign that the Red Wave is going to be a Blood Red Tsunami.

She’s really scrawny looking. At least the other Katie from California was a looker.

I checked her picture.

Guilty, besides being guilty as a Democrat.

It's the end of Democracy.

Wow - looks like he does have quite the checkered past in looking that up.

Indicates if we could have nominated a candidate without all of this baggage this would have been a better chance for a pickup. If we still pick it up then it is probably like you said - it is a Red Tsunami - that carried him over - probably a lot of surprises would have already occurred by the time the polls close in California as well.

She reminds me of Home Alone, when Kevin finds the picture in his brother’s room: “Woof, Buzz, your girlfriend.”

A rising star? Are we sure it’s not a Death Star?

“Charmed”?

Is this a joke?

I’ve seen at least one post of her on my facebook feed talking about she’s their hero with her little white board...
