But new super PACs have sprouted up as the successors to the collapsed Sam Bankman-Fried empire, and they are making their first big bet of the 2024 election cycle: trying to crush Representative Katie Porter, a Democrat running in next month’s California Senate primary. The biggest new crypto-focused super PAC, Fairshake, began reserving television and digital advertising across California in a multimillion-dollar buy late on Monday, and it could be a major player in the race’s final three weeks. Fairshake revealed two weeks ago in federal filings that it and two affiliated super PACs had amassed a combined roughly $80 million in 2023, with most of the money coming from three major cryptocurrency players: Coinbase, Ripple Labs and Andreessen Horowitz. The California Senate race pits Ms. Porter against Representative Adam Schiff, a Democrat, and Representative Barbara Lee, another Democrat, as well as Steve Garvey, a Republican and a former baseball player. The top two finishers in the March primary will advance to November, even if both are Democrats. Advertisement SKIP ADVERTISEMENT In a statement, Fairshake accused Ms. Porter of taking campaign cash from other industries and misleading the state about her record, saying, “Katie Porter says one thing and does another.” POLITICS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES * Maryland: Larry Hogan, a Republican and a popular former governor, announced that he would run for the state’s open Senate seat, a surprising move that immediately made Maryland a top battleground for control of the chamber. * Montana: Former President Donald Trump endorsed Tim Sheehy for the state’s Republican Senate nomination, putting his powerful imprimatur on the primary race. * R.N.C. Chair: The disclosure that Ronna McDaniel is planning to step down as the leader of the Republican National Committee has set off a new round of jockeying between two of the same men who battled for the co-chairman post in 2023. * Ranked-Choice Voting: Most conservatives have opposed the voting method, which could be on the November ballot in four states. But some say that attitudes toward it on the right could be changing. The group is planning a blitz of anti-Porter advertising and had begun booking time in markets statewide on Monday. The ad released on Tuesday begins, “Katie Porter plays us for fools,” and accuses her of accepting some donations from industry executives.
