▲ 105 ▼ Poll: Katie Porter leads California governor’s race, boosted by former Kamala Harris supporters (www.politico.com) submitted 1 year ago by yonderbarn@lazysoci.al to c/progressivepolitics@lemmy.world 15 comments fedilink hide all child comments I had no idea she was running for governor until she made headlines today. Newsom is term limited and 2026 will be his final year. Think her chances are better in this one than when she ran for Senate.
