Rep. Adam B. Schiff swamped his rivals in the financial race to replace retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein, raising $8.2 million in recent months, according to federal fundraising reports released Saturday.
Schiff collected roughly double the combined total raised by his top Democratic opponents — Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee — in the same period.
Schiff's windfall was fueled by his June censure by congressional Republicans over his role in investigating former GOP President Trump's ties to Russia — a reprimand the Burbank Democrat repeatedly highlighted in his fundraising appeals.
