During a podcast interview this week, Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) predicted that former President Donald Trump will soon “have his demise.” The California Democrat suggested that Trump’s “demise” could be losing the 2024 presidential election, being sent to prison, or having a “heart attack.”
Appearing on a recent episode of “Pod Save America,” Porter discussed her recent loss in California’s special primary election to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who passed away in September. Porter only received 17.2% of the vote, losing to Republican candidate Steve Garvey, who is a former baseball star, and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
In a video clip from the podcast episode that was shared by The Post Millennial on X, formerly Twitter, Porter can be heard explaining what she learned from her failed Senate campaign and what the Democratic Party is currently focusing on.
“I think that the specter of Donald Trump looms large, and I absolutely feel that, and so people were like, we gotta think — every decision has to be made in tension with Trump,” she said.

Porter continued, “Soon Trump will lose, or go to prison, or, I don’t know, have a heart attack. I’m not sure. I don’t know what his demise is gonna be, but he’ll have his demise. And the question will still be there, who are we as Democrats? What economy do we want? What society do we want? What’s our plan on climate change? These questions don’t become less relevant because of Donald Trump; they actually become more relevant because of Donald Trump.”
As Porter discussed the possibility of Trump’s “demise” by a heart attack, the podcast hosts interjected, “We call it the hamburger from heaven.”
Porter’s comments regarding Trump’s potential “demise” come as the former president continues to lead President Joe Biden in the polls. According to RealClearPolling’s average, Trump currently leads Biden by approximately 2% ahead of November’s presidential election.
