CNN data analyst Harry Enten recently shared some numbers that suggest Democrat Katie Porter may have blown up her own campaign for governor of California.
The video of her berating a journalist for simply asking her basic follow-up questions was bad, but then the video of her exploding on a staffer made things even worse.
Porter’s numbers have dropped like a stone in just a few days.
The Daily Caller has details:
Democratic California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter’s chances of becoming governor have fallen so significantly that she is currently lagging behind Democratic California Sen. Alex Padilla, who is not currently in the race, CNN’s Harry Enten said on Thursday.
Porter has faced intense scrutiny after viral footage showed her threatening to storm out of an interview over a basic question and after a video caught her screaming at her staff for being in view of the camera. Porter’s chances have fallen from 40% on Oct. 7 to 16% as of Thursday, placing her behind Padilla, who has not officially announced his candidacy for governor, Enten said on “Laura Coates Live.”
“They have been heard around the world and I think that Katie Porter is making history because she has potentially annihilated her chances to be the next governor of California more so than any other candidate I’ve ever seen so quickly, my goodness gracious,” Enten said. “What are we talking about right here? Well, let’s take a look.
Chance to be the next California governor, according to the Kalshi prediction market, Katie Porter’s chances have fallen through the floor. Just two days ago, she was the plurality leader in the prediction markets at 40%. Now, get this, her chance has fallen by more than half to just 16%, my goodness gracious.”
See the video below:
Not sure I’ve ever seen anyone potentially annihilate their gov chances as fast as Katie Porter did this week.
With her snappings heard round the world, her chances to be the next gov of CA have tumbled from 40% to under 20% per Kalshi.

The fascinating thing about all of this is that these awful videos of Porter are probably being given to the media by other Democrats. They know she can’t win because of her terrible reputation and behavior so they want her out of the race.
Of course, no one will be surprised if she refuses to drop out anyway.
