A high-stakes battle is underway in California as candidates vie to fill the vacant U.S. Senate seat previously held by the late Dianne Feinstein. The upcoming election will utilize the ranked choice voting system, allowing voters to prioritize their preferred candidates. In a recent debate, four candidates, including one Republican and three Democrats, clashed on various key issues affecting the state.
Former professional baseball player, Steve Garvey, stands as the sole Republican contender with a realistic chance of becoming the next U.S. Senator from California. His opponents in the debate and the upcoming primary on March 5th consist of three prominent Democrats, with Congressman Adam Schiff leading the pack as the front-runner to succeed Senator Feinstein, who served the state for over three decades.
