The top 10 neighbors for Rep. Katie Porter split across politicians, activists, and political comedians in roughly equal measure — no single subcategory dominates, and the scores compress into a narrow band from 0.97 to 0.98.
The shape is flat. Katie Porter (0.98) sits at the top, followed immediately by comedian Sarah Cooper (0.98) and journalist Aaron Rupar (0.98) — both cross-kind neighbors whose audiences look nearly identical to Porter's own. Politicians Robert Reich (0.97) and Pete Buttigieg (0.97) represent the same-kind cluster, but they are outnumbered: three activists — Shannon Watts (0.97), David Hogg (0.97), and Claudia Conway (0.97) — also appear, alongside comedian Stephen Colbert (0.97) and the TV show The Late Show (0.97). The mix of politicians, activists, comedians, a journalist, and a late-night program, all scoring within 0.01 of each other, describes an audience that moves fluidly across political commentary in multiple formats rather than anchoring to any one kind of voice.
This flat, cross-kind cluster suggests Rep. Porter's audience is defined less by attachment to a specific role — elected official, activist, satirist — and more by a shared orientation toward politically engaged media consumption.
