It’s not a surprise that Democratic stalwart Schiff is in the runoff. But baseball superstar stunned many, as his low-budget campaign scored big among Republicans and some independent voters.
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican former Dodger Steve Garvey topped a crowded field of candidates tonight looking to claim the U.S. Senate seat previously held by the late Dianne Feinstein, and they will advance to a head-to-head Nov. runoff. California Representative Adam Schiff talks to supporters on Election night Tuesday, March 5, 2024. Schiff will face Republican Steve Garvey in the Nov. election for the senate seat formally held by Dianne Feinstein.
Schiff made no apologies when asked about this tactic at a recent campaign event, noting that every candidate is entitled to run their campaign as they see fit, the Washington Post reported. Neither stance appeared to hurt his support among golden state Republicans — a lesson that California conservatives can now apply to future campaigns, Lesenyie said.
“It’s surprising for as much of the sort of Machiavellian crafting that went into Schiff’s race, it seemed that they didn’t vet people at the door or prepare for being interrupted that way,” said Lesenyie. “It’s wild that for the price of free they just hijacked that whole thing after he spent millions of dollars to get that event.”
Rep. Katie Porter, who is running for the late Dianne Feinstein’s Senate seat, speaks to supporters at The Bungalow in Long Beach on Tues., March 5, 2024. “Despite being heavily outspent by my opponents, our values never wavered,” she said. “In every step of this campaign, we never backed down from our progressive vision, and worked relentlessly to build a coalition that represents communities that too often are not afforded a seat at the table.”Porter cancelled a planned Wednesday event in Irvine with the United Auto Workers Union.
