California Senate 2024 - Schiff (D) vs Garvey (R)

[Landslide Lyndon]

Feinstein should have followed Barbara Boxer's example and retire with dignity.

Yeah, I don't get how some people accused the Democrats of having a bunch of geriatrics in leadership positions and now they want to vote for a woman at the tender age of 79 to become a freshman senator.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Feinstein still a possibility? Heck, I almost want her to run at this point just to see how she gets embarrassed in a fifth or sixth place finish.

Is she even aware of what's happening right now?

[Landslide Lyndon]

It's even easier than that. Replace her in the Judiciary Committee with a healthier senator.

FINALLY!

These comments by Barabara Lee expressing her dissapointing with the descion are both sour grapes and seem to express a contemptous attitude towards the idea that voters should be able to pick their representives and the concept of senators representing all their counstituents not just the ones they share demographics charectersitcs with.

It's one of the most entitltied things i've seen written by any major us politican.

Yeah, that's a bad statement which makes her sound like a bitter person with an inflated sense of entitlement. It won't make her many new friends.

The fallout from this primary has been so aggravating. Porter's rhetoric, the online left's insistence that Schiff is some centrist, just the general childish behavior of all involved...makes me really glad I don't live in CA.

That's not surprising. These bozos also think that Kamala Harris is centrist.

As for Porter, her behaviour just confirms the reports about her churlish character and why her office had the second highest turnover in congress.

If Porter can't stand the heat then she should get out of the kitchen. Schiff boosted Garvey because in the first place he took a small but significant lead, despite the fact that she had the money and enthusiasm to match his advantages.

And of course it goes without saying that for Democrats in general it's a good thing that Garvey advanced and they won't be wasting huge amounts of money in an unnecessary civil war for a safe seat.

True, but there's a potential downside in that a high-profile D-vs-D Senate race might have brought more Democrats out to vote in November, helping them in the close House races.  That's obviously more hypothetical than the money issue, though.

If a presidential race with Trump as the opponent and the future of democracy at stake doesn't bring to the polls every single Democrat then I doubt that a Schiff vs Porter matchup would.
