Katie Porter, in a recent series of events surrounding the California Senate primary, has made headlines by attributing her loss to Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey to the influence of billionaires and special interests. During a campaign event in Long Beach, Porter criticized the establishment and implicitly targeted Schiff, suggesting he benefited from significant financial support. Despite having $28M for her campaign, which was described as a substantial amount relative to expectations, Porter's performance was deemed a disappointment. In her concession speech, she blamed billionaires and campaign 'lies' for her defeat, despite receiving backing from big donors herself. Furthermore, Porter has explicitly suggested that the primary was 'rigged' by an 'onslaught of billionaires', directly implicating the influence of wealthy individuals in the outcome of the election.

The person to blame for Katie Porter's collapse is Katie Porter, not Barbara Lee. Porter had $28M, was the leading progressive candidate, and had a metric ton of money. She did so badly that she would have easily been eliminated even if every one of Lee's votes went to her.
$28M for perhaps the single worst primary performance (relative to expectations) in recent memory. What an absolute flop this was from Katie Porter. Yikes. https://t.co/3H5s9jjKDN
