"Intense Competition Emerges in Race to Succeed DiFi"

The race to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein in California is shaping up to be a showdown between Reps. Adam Schiff and Katie Porter, both from the more populous Los Angeles area. Progressive candidate Rep. Barbara Lee, from the Bay Area, is struggling to gain traction with voters and is polling at just 7 percent. Lee's lack of name recognition and support among Black voters has hindered her campaign. Meanwhile, speculation continues about whether Rep. Nancy Pelosi will retire from her San Francisco congressional seat. In other news, Stanford and UC Berkeley's move to the ACC is expected to boost their credit, and California is set to raise taxes on guns and ammunition.
