"according to a person familiar with Fairshake, the super pac’s intent wasn’t simply to damage her. The group’s backers didn’t care all that much about Porter. Rather, the person familiar with Fairshake said, the goal of the attack campaign was to terrify other politicians—“to warn anyone running for office that, if you are anti-crypto, the industry will come after you.”

Okay as someone who works in the House with both sides of the aisle Katie Porter had few friends. Every hearing she would turn into theater and would run over her time taking time away from others. Even regular non crypto Dems I know did not want her to advance in the Primary since having a Republican vs a Democrat is much better for the Democrats than two democrats.
It might look cool and get clicks but working on a Committee nothing is worse than a member who acts like she does as someone whose been on the receiving end.

Honestly, I get it... She is well... If she wanted to stay in Congress she never should have ran for Senate and I bet people told her not to because you just had to look at the poles to know she was far from the best candidate within her own party.

The Senate Dem Committee PAC didn’t back or help her. She wasn’t going to be an option from within her own party.

I have been told from friends that she was straight up told not to sun that there were a number of people ahead of her and she ignored everyone AND the polls that backed what she was told
