California Rep. Katie Porter Launches Bid for U.S. Senate
---------------------------------------------------------

In California, progressive Congressmember Katie Porter has announced her
bid for the U.S. Senate in 2024, as many expect 89-year-old Dianne
Feinstein to retire at the end of her current term after serving for
over three decades. A former student of Elizabeth Warren at Harvard Law,
Porter has represented Orange County in the House since 2018 and is well
known for her pointed, no-nonsense questioning in the House Oversight
Committee. Other high-profile California Democrats who could run for the
Senate seat include Congressmembers Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee and Ro
Khanna.
