Former Congresswoman Katie Porter is addressing concerns about her campaign for California governor after two videos showing her in heated exchanges went viral.
Porter has apologized, saying she "could have handled things better," and acknowledged that she can be tough but needs to better express appreciation for her team.
"I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative. What is your question?"
Her rivals in the 2026 governor’s race have criticized her, suggesting the exchange shows she is unfit for the job.
Author's note: Porter takes responsibility for her behavior in viral videos.
