Schiff, Garvey Square Off in Race for Feinstein's Senate Seat
Two Democratic candidates vie for California's open U.S. Senate seat.
The race for California's open U.S. Senate seat is heating up, with two Democratic candidates vying for the nomination. Representative Adam Schiff and state Senator Nancy Skinner are both well-known and experienced politicians, and the race is expected to be close.
Schiff, a 10-term congressman, is best known for his role in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
He is a strong supporter of abortion rights and gun control, and he has been a vocal critic of Trump's policies.
Skinner, a former state assemblywoman, is a progressive Democrat who has focused on environmental issues and criminal justice reform.
She is a strong supporter of the Green New Deal and Medicare for All, and she has been a vocal critic of the death penalty.
The two candidates have very different styles and approaches to politics. Schiff is a more traditional politician, while Skinner is more of an activist. Schiff is more likely to work within the system to achieve his goals, while Skinner is more likely to challenge the status quo.
The race is likely to be decided by the Democratic primary, as the winner of that race is all but certain to win the general election in November.
The primary election will be held on June 7, 2022.
