Barbara Boxer: 'Nobody Can Take Their Seat For Granted'

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who is up for re-election this year, said in an interview on Wednesday that the growing backlash against Washington politicians would mean that "nobody can take their seat for granted" in November.

"These are tough times we're going through in California and America, and I'm not going to sugarcoat that," Boxer told KCAL in Los Angeles.

Boxer, who in November will be challenged by one of a trio of strong Republican candidates now facing off in a GOP primary, admitted that "people are grumpy and they have a right to be grumpy."

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore and former Rep. Tom Campbell are competing in for the right to challenge Boxer in the general election.

On Wednesday, The Hill's election forecasters moved the California Senate race from "leans Democratic" to "toss-up."
