- At the state party convention, Porter displayed a sign reading “F--- TRUMP” and urged delegates to repeat a vow to “kick Trump’s a** in November.”
- In a fiery speech, she alleged Trump would “kill people in the streets,” take away health care, and attack democracy, casting the governor’s race as a test of California’s commitment to those values.
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren publicly endorsed Porter for governor, calling her a champion for working families and a voice for a bold progressive vision.
- As of publication, major national Republican leaders had not commented on Porter’s display, and Fox News said it requested responses from the White House and the RNC.
