‘Too Big of a Risk to Take’: Katie Porter Unleashes on CA Governor Opponent Xavier Becerra in Final Stretch of Race
CNN noted no public evidence supported Katie Porter’s claim that Tom Steyer leaked a viral video as she pressed attacks on Xavier Becerra.
- On Monday, Former Representative Katie Porter launched sharp accusations against rivals HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer during a CNN interview, questioning their suitability ahead of California's June 2nd jungle primary.
- Porter highlighted federal investigations into Becerra's former chief of staff, Sean McCluskie, who recently pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges involving campaign fund theft. She characterized the situation as an unacceptable liability comparable to Congressman Eric Swalwell's earlier exit from the race.
- Regarding Steyer, Porter alleged he leaked a viral video five years ago showing her berating a staffer to damage her campaign. She claimed Steyer "clearly wanted to be governor badly enough to knock me down," though CNN anchor Dana Bash noted no public evidence supports this allegation.
- Polls show Porter tied for 5th place, trailing Steyer, Becerra, and Republican Steve Hilton going into the June 2nd primary, where only the top two finishers advance under California's system.
- Porter warned that Becerra's potential indictment mid-campaign could hand the governorship to Republican Steve Hilton, stating, "Secretary Becerra cannot promise Californians that he will not be named as a co-conspirator in this corruption charge.
