The race to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein increasingly looks like it’s going to be a SoCal showdown.
The two leading Democrats in the race — Reps. Adam Schiff and Katie Porter. Schiff currently leads the way with 20 percent support, the poll found, and Porter close behind at 17 percent.
Schiff, who hails from Burbank, is a regular on the political talk show circuit and one of the most prominent politicians in the nation. He has flourished in his role as the party’s attack dog against former President Donald Trump. Around two-thirds of voters polled said they hold an opinion on Schiff, and he’s tapped into that name recognition to build a war chest of $29.8 million for the Senate race, as of figures released in July — including a staggering $8.3 million haul in the second quarter.
Porter, a rising star in the party who’s held onto a competitive Orange County district, raised $3.2 million in the second quarter, and received largely favorable reviews from the 57 percent of voters who offered an opinion on her.
Exactly. Just be one of those people who’s “concerned” about all the anti-abortion laws. Republicans are really hurting from all their rejections in solid red states.
