>> a political stunner. katie porter announced she is taking dianne feinstein c. she did so in a video and without an announcement from feinstein. >> i am announcing my candidacy for the united states senate of 2024. i don't to congress the way others do.

i use the power i have to speak hard. kristen: the announcement is raising eyebrows. joining us now is phil. is it highly unusual and disrespectful? interesting. dianne feinstein has been in congress for as long as we can remember, she is 89 years old and has been slipping. there was a question about whether she was going to finish her term. for the last couple of years, there has been growing

speculation she might not. especially after the passing of her husband. she is frail, does not seem to have the memory she has had. other democrats were saying it's time for her to move on. at that time, gavin newsom should dianne feinstein resign, that he would appoint an african-american woman to replace her. that put everybody on edge. saying, what is he doing? she is going to be leaving at the end of this term. everybody was worried she would not make it, some thought they would be lucky if she did not. barbara lee a congresswoman. maybe even london breed. as time went on

been rallying around her saying she has given his years of service. that opens up the race for a whole lot of people. katie porter was the first to jump in. kristen: i want to share feinstein's reaction. she said throw their hat in the ring. she will make an announcement at the appropriate time. >> california as all of the resources to cope. saying this shows a 10 year. katie porter is well known in washington.

she is known for growing corporate executives. she was seen as professor taking on corporate interests. but, it shows a 10 year. california is being slammed to come out with an announcement like this, it does not show empathy for what's back home, two, is not going to get the attention if you waited until things calm down. kristen: adam schiff commented on that today. i'm wondering if he has a reason . >> everyone has a reason. you are going to see to look like sunday at bay meadows. adam

she has a good shot. he shortage of people getting into this race. >> porter is well known in washington. tell us more about her politics. she has some baggage in terms of her reputation. staff issues.

train, washington. change in how we elect our officials. we've gone from a party structure and union backing to celebrity. like it or not, democrats and republicans are depending on celebrity. not talking about a reality tv show, although they did pretty good. an action known in a state as big as california. adam schiff has a certain amoun of celebrity. katie porter does not have that.

kristen: you get some kind advantage? >> you get some money. she raised over $25 thought would be a slamdunk. if you don't have a celebrity, you better have cash. kristen: we will talk to you more at 5:00.

we will be here everyday at 3:00. world's ton tonight, the deadly storms slamming the u.s. the boy swept away. another storm hitting tomorrow. worries of more landslides and life-threatening flooding. and president biden on the world stage right now. will he address the classified documents? first tonight, ten states from california to texas on alert now for dangerous storms. the images coming in at this hour. devastating flooding and mudslides in california already. massive boulders rolling onto highway 168. wind gusts topping 80 miles per hour. rescue and recovery efforts under way and authorities calling off the search for a 5-year-old boy swept away by flood waters. the message from ellen degeneres and what she shows behind her as many in her community are evacuated. one storm after another on the way through this week.
