"California's 2024 Senate Race: Schiff Surges Ahead in Polls, Garvey and Porter Trail"
Former Dodger Steve Garvey has surged in the polls for the California U.S. Senate primary election, leading among likely voters with 27%, closely followed by Adam Schiff and Katie Porter. Despite being a Republican in a heavily Democratic state, Garvey's rise is attributed to a divided Democratic field and significant advertising spending by Schiff, who aims to boost Garvey as his preferred opponent in the general election. With expected low voter turnout, the primary on March 5 could determine the candidates for the November runoff.
