CNN’s Harry Enten: ‘My Goodness Gracious,’ Katie Porter’s Campaign for California Governor Is Imploding

ENTEN: “And I think that Katie Porter is making history because she has potentially annihilated her chances to be the next governor of California more so than any other candidate I’ve ever seen so quickly. My goodness gracious. What are we talking about right here? Well, let’s take a look. Chance to be the next California governor, according to the Kalshi Prediction Market, Katie Porter’s chances have fallen through the floor. Just two days ago, she was the plurality leader in the prediction markets at 40 percent. Now, get this, her chance has fallen by more than half to just 16 percent. My goodness gracious. Meanwhile, Alex Padilla, who’s not even running for governor of California at this point, he’s a sitting senator from that state, his chances have gone up through the roof, from 10 percent all the way to 27 percent, nearly gone up threefold. Now, one of the big reasons why the prediction markets have moved so much on Katie Porter’s chances to be the next governor of California is because people are really interested in this story. Take a look here. Google searches for Katie Porter at an all-time high despite Katie Porter having a long political career. Get this, up over 10,000 percent versus just a week ago. And not so surprisingly, the top topic searched alongside Katie Porter at this point, interview. It turns out maybe you shouldn’t snap at a local political reporter.”
