In the California Senate primary, Democrat Adam Schiff is projected to advance to the general election in November. California follows a top two primary system, where the top two candidates with the most votes move on to the general election ballot. Schiff is expected to secure a spot on the ballot for November 5th.
Currently, Republican Steve Garvey is leading the race for the second spot, with nearly 29% of the vote. Incumbent Congresswoman Katie Porter is trailing behind in third place. Garvey is running on a moderate platform, focusing on protecting reproductive rights and advocating for programs to support the unhoused population.
Porter, known for her tough questioning of financial executives in congressional hearings, has the endorsement of Senator Elizabeth Warren. However, she is facing a significant gap in votes, with only 42% of the vote counted so far in California.
The competition for the second spot in the general election is intensifying, with Garvey's moderate stance appealing to a broader base of voters in the state. Porter's progressive background and endorsements may not be enough to secure her a place on the November ballot.
As the primary results continue to unfold, the race between Garvey and Porter will be closely watched to see who will ultimately join Adam Schiff in the general election. Stay tuned for further updates on this critical Senate primary race in California.
