Would Katie Porter leave the California governor's race if Kamala Harris joined?

ABC10's Walt Gray sits down with Rich Ehisen, editor in chief of Capitol Weekly, to discuss this week in California politics, including the 2026 California gubernatorial race, the introduction of a law pertaining to voter identification and local RV parking.

It would be one of the stupidest things California has ever done to vote, Harris as governor. She wasn't any good as vice president.

No democrat candidate should drop out if Harris joins the race. Let the voters have a choice.

I think Kamala should retire from public service/politics. She showed terrible judgement in paying Oprah and Sharpton for endorsement galas. She needs to bo silent on all subjects and people related to politics. RETIRE.

As somone that has voted blue for 34 years, including for Harris, I can tell you without a doubt that I will be voting for Porter. Old Dem leadership has failed us for 30 years, and this last election was the final straw.

We need a 1000 Katie Porters and 100% less of old Democrat leadership, including Harris.

Yes, of course I would rather her be president right now, but she's not, and she's never going to be, and I'll never vote for her to be Gov of California. Full stop.

We have Voter ID now. We're gonna have who We The People want

Katie Porter would make a terrific governor. Americ needs progressive democrats more than ever...

After the election, I was all in on Kamala as Ca governor. However, she's really been MIA. Even Walz is going around the country and providing much needed leadership. Kamala, in my opinion, is blowing a leadership opportunity. She needs to step up, and fast, if she expects to be taken seriously.

If I.D. is not necessary at the voting polls than I'm going to start fighting it at the DMV and every state office as well because they all require it. Double standards.

[kaiskajani]

We need James Gallagher or Kevin Kiley they will bring about true change in California

Porter is a FAR better candidate. Kamala will lose again.

[e.tezani]

As much as i dont like trump..i see kamala as too left. Cali will elect a moderate dem.

I'm one of the 29% that thinks our party is doing a wonderful job. And with fresh new voices like David Hogg and Tom Martin, the future looks bright. 💙💙
