Democratic frontrunner for California governor threatens to walk out of interview

Katie Porter grows testy when CBS reporter asks about 40% of voters who went for Trump, saying: ‘I’m going to call it’

Former California representative Katie Porter, a leading Democratic candidate for governor, threatened to walk out of an interview with a local news outlet after the reporter pressed her on whether support for a redistricting measure would alienate Republicans who voted for Donald Trump.

The on-camera exchange between Porter and CBS News reporter Julie Watts has gained widespread attention, drawing a sharp rebuke from her rivals and potentially shaking up the stagnant race to replace the term-limited Gavin Newsom.
