Adam Schiff Wins California Senate Seat, Succeeding Feinstein After Defeating Steve Garvey

Nov 6, 2024, 04:16 AM

Democratic Representative Adam Schiff has won the U.S. Senate seat in California, defeating Republican Steve Garvey, a former Los Angeles Dodgers star. Schiff will fill the seat previously held by the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, who passed away last year and was temporarily succeeded by Senator Laphonza Butler, appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom. The Associated Press and multiple news outlets projected Schiff's victory right at 8 p.m. when polls closed. Schiff, who has served in Congress since 2001, secured the seat after defeating fellow Democrats Katie Porter and Barbara Lee in a contested March primary. His win keeps the seat in Democratic hands and continues the party's 18-year streak of statewide victories in California.
