8. We need whoever can win CA

Mon Jun 23, 2025, 06:48 AM

Monday

I love Kamala! I love Katie!
Not being from CA I didn't follow the CA senate race that Katie was a candidate. Searching for info I found the OLD democratic guard didn't want Katie to win. And threw all their weight (pelosi) on getting Schiff elected.

I have no opinion I just found Katie's last run interesting, with the alleged games played by the democrats.

Basically I'm just typing out loud and wondering what others are thinking.

Again, I think, the only goal we should have is to make sure CA is won by a democrat.

I thought she should have stayed in the House and continued to do what she was garnering great kudos for, holding OnDoutside Monday #30
