"Steve Garvey Emerges as Republican Hope in California Senate Race"

Republicans in California are seeing promising news as GOP candidate Steve Garvey emerges as a viable threat to Democratic Representative Adam Schiff in the state's Senate race. Recent polls show Garvey in second place, trailing Schiff by 11 percentage points in a hypothetical primary. The race is shaping up to be a red-versus-blue battle, challenging the expectation of a moderate-versus-progressive contest in solidly blue California. Despite his rise in the polls, Garvey has the lowest favorability rating among the top four candidates. Schiff, a longtime enemy of former President Donald Trump, has been targeted by House Republicans and has earned nicknames from Trump like "shifty Schiff" and "Liddle' Adam Schiff."
