Brian Musgrave was out buying bird seed when he got the first hint that his life was about to be turned upside down. The text from someone he didn’t know just said he was going to be mentioned by South Carolina Rep, Nancy Mace in a speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives, “First reaction was, what could that even be? It just didn’t make any sense,” Musgrave told CNN in an exclusive interview. “I couldn’t think of a context where I would be named in a floor speech by Nancy Mace at all.” But named he was. And labeled a predator, with his name and photograph displayed on a board in the chamber during the speech last month that was televised and available online. Mace spoke for 53 minutes in a damning, personal address that has no precedent in the chamber’s history. “Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call out the cowards who think they can prey on women and get away with it,” she began. “Today, I’m going scorched earth.”

The California governor’s race isn’t waiting for former Vice President Kamala Harris to make up her mind whether she’s going to run. Former Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who represented Orange County in the US House for three terms, announced Tuesday she’s entering the race to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is term-limited from running again.
