Democrats who flipped House seats in 2018 have consistently posted strong fundraising numbers by building large email lists and tapping into energized grassroots donors. Porter has led the pack as she built a national profile fueled by viral videos.
Her latest viral video came earlier this month, when shesaid during an appearance with late night host Samantha Bee, “If you’re full of bulls---, I’m comin’ for ya. Like I just don’t have time. I’m a single mom, the dinner’s burning, I’m late to something, I have 4,000 emails, my hair is frizzy, I haven’t shaved my legs in a week. No. Bull. S---.” The video, pinned to Porter’s campaign Twitter account, has 4.9 million views.
Most of her viral moments have involved less swearing and more white boards. A former law professor and consumer protection lawyer, Porter’s dogged questioning of administration officials in committee hearings have launched her into the national spotlight.
“Oreos will never look the same to me,” said Orange County Democratic Party Chairwoman Ada Briceño, referring to Porter quizzing Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on a term referring to foreclosed properties, and Carson asking if she was referring to the cookie.
The hearing videos, circulated on social media, have translated into campaign cash. Porter’s campaign said it saw a bump in fundraising in March after she pushed the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to commit to free testing for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus that has sparked a pandemic.
