California News:
California voters and Republicans have a rare opportunity to vote for a U.S. Senator from their own party – something that hasn’t happened since Republican Pete Wilson was elected to the U.S. Senate from California in 1983, and reelected in 1988.
Former Major League Baseball player Steve Garvey is now leading Adam Schiff in California’s U.S. Senate race.
As of Thursday afternoon, Adam Schiff has 2,021,612 votes (29.6%), and Steve Garvey has 2,276,279 (33.4%) making Garvey the leader by 254,667 votes. (The Secretary of State updated at 12:30pm March 14, 2024)
Despite the very full field of candidates, California’s Top 2 Primary Election system, also known as the “Jungle Primary,” advances only the top 2 vote-getters to the General Election.
Garvey responded on X/Twitter, but to yesterday’s numbers:
“Our race continues to be very competitive – we’re going to need your help to win this in November. Please take a moment to contribute to our campaign at stevegarvey.com – we’re going to need every dollar! Share this post!”

Voters are asking if this means we could have a Republican U.S. Senator from California.
Rob Pyers (California Target Book) was on top of this and posted 24 hours ago on X-Twitter:
What is really interesting is how Adam Schiff and Katie Porter are largely responsible for elevating Garvey’s candidacy through political ads, admonishing him for being conservative and voting for Donald Trump. They clearly forgot that California has a healthy number of Conservatives, Independents and No Party Preference voters who are not enamored of the demise of the once Golden State. It was well-known that Schiff wanted to face-off Garvey and not Porter in the General Election.
To that, many are now saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”
Garvey just sent out a fundraising request in which he acknowledges Schiff’s scheme:
“I can’t help but think how Adam Schiff and his team of high-priced DC consultants thought they were being savvy in trying to make sure I became their opponent in General Election.
Reports are they even spent money running ads promoting me.
But what they’ve really done is awaken a sleeping giant here.”
Voters tell the Globe that they hope Garvey is as talented a street fighter as he was a baseball MVP.
In a P.S., Garvey notes, “Adam Schiff had $35 million in the bank. Well, reports are now coming out that he spent upwards of $25 million in the primary and is down to $10 million in the bank.”
November is going to be really interesting.
