"California Senate Race: Hollywood Support Sparks Battle Over Democratic Loyalties and Israel-Hamas Divide"

Democratic candidates in California's U.S. Senate race, including Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter, and Barbara Lee, are seeking support from Hollywood ahead of the March 5 open primary, with potential conflicts over Democratic loyalties. Schiff has raised more from showbiz donors than Porter, while both campaigns have highlighted celebrity endorsements. The top two finishers in the primary will advance to the general election in November, and recent polls show Schiff leading, with a tight race for the second spot between Porter and Republican Steve Garvey. The candidates' positions on issues like Israel could impact the primary vote, and the presence of Garvey could affect the dynamics of a potential Schiff-vs-Porter race.
