Steve Garvey edges ahead of Adam Schiff in California's U.S. Senate primary
2024-03-14
[KTLA] Former Major League Baseball slugger Steve Garvey has moved ahead of U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff
...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"...
in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,’s U.S. Senate primary — a significant feat despite the November runoff having already been determined.

As of Wednesday morning, Garvey led Schiff by an incredibly slim margin of just 4,801 votes with more than 5 million votes tallied, about 85% of expected returns.

Schiff, one of the leading Democrats in the U.S. House, will face Garvey, a Republican, in November to determine who succeeds the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
. California puts all candidates, regardless of party, on the same primary ballot, and the two who get the most votes advance to the general election.

#4  Garvey is a likable kind of guy with a lot of positive name recognition. Schiff Head is a reptile. Still, we do have to worry about Dominion.

#2  Realistically, the Dems had for or more dirt bag selections: Dirt Bag Classic, Cherry Dirt Bag, Dirt Bag Zero etc.. it is expected that they will coalesce around a Turd Sandwich and commence to chowing down.
