MORNING GLORY: California Democrats dumped Porter, but Maine Dems hold onto Platner for dear life
Former Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter got smoked in Tuesday’s "jungle primary" for California’s governor’s race, the runoff for which will come in November. Right now, it looks like Steve Hilton vs. Xavier Becerra will face each other in the general election, though that won’t be certain for days — but we do know Porter won’t be in the final. She plummeted from her position as the early front-runner and darling of progressives last year after questions about her temperament surfaced and she never left.
