After losing the California Senate primary, the Democratic congresswoman employed somewhat Trumpian language to air out her grievances.

That a Democratic lawmaker, and a particularly progressive one, would accuse her political adversaries of rigging an election is a curious choice. The term has become all but synonymous with Donald Trump following his refusal to accept his 2020 loss as legitimate. But rather than backpedal, Porter doubled down after receiving a wave of criticism. “‘Rigged’ means manipulated by dishonest means.

” Porter appeared to reference the millions spent by Schiff’s campaign and pro-Schiff super PACs in the race, including on advertising aimed at boosting the candidacy of Republican Steve Garvey, who finished in second place—ahead of Porter, who finished in third, and Democratic congressman Barbara Lee, who finished in fourth.
