Senate Race Between Schiff And Republican Steve Garvey Called

The U.S. Senate race between California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Los Angeles Dodgers great Steve Garvey, the GOP candidate, has been called.

Schiff (D-CA) easily defeated on Tuesday to serve out the remainder of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Senate term, which ends in January, and, separately, to serve a new six-year Senate term. The Associated Press called the race for Schiff minutes after polls closed in the state at 11 p.m. EDT.

Schiff has served in the House for the past two decades and gained national prominence when he led the first impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, advocating for his removal from office. In his Senate campaign, Schiff focused on positioning himself as the foremost opponent of Trump, vowing to continue applying pressure on the Republican presidential nominee if Trump were to win a second term in the White House.

Trump, in turn, has called Schiff “the enemy from within” and a “sleazebag.”

“These are bad people,” Trump said. “We have a lot of bad people. But when you look at ‘Shifty Schiff’ and some of the others, yeah, they are, to me, the enemy from within.”

In late October, Trump criticized Garvey during a Fox News interview, stating that his lack of political experience was the reason for his unsuccessful campaign. He also told reporters that Garvey “made a big mistake because he hasn’t reached out to MAGA, and if he doesn’t have MAGA, he’s got no chance.”

At times, Garvey appeared out of his depth on the campaign trail. He faced challenges with policy issues and opted to skip both the California Republican Party convention and the Republican National Convention. While he made a concerted effort to connect with Latino voters, it ultimately fell short in the face of Schiff’s popularity in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by 2-to-1, the Washington Examiner reported.

In their first and only televised debate, Garvey characterized Schiff as a “career politician” more focused on his personal political ambitions than on assisting Californians.

“This man hasn’t done anything over the last 24 years on any of these things that have given us any consistency in life,” Garvey said, going on to point out that Schiff seemed too obsessed with his personal vendetta against Trump to care about the needs of Californians.

Schiff faced significant criticism during the primaries for aiding Garvey’s placement on the general election ballot over Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), believing that he would have a better chance of defeating Garvey.

Last fall, Schiff came under fire over allegations that he has been claiming two primary residences in Maryland and California for more than ten years while taking advantage of homeowner tax breaks.

The controversies surrounding Schiff’s residential claims may cause problems for his January 2023 announcement of a U.S. Senate run.

For years, Schiff has been the owner of a large 3,420-square-foot house in Maryland. However, he has also claimed a homeowner’s tax exemption on a much smaller condo in Burbank, California, which is 650 square feet, and has designated it as his primary residence.

The congressman saved about $70 a year in property taxes as a result of this maneuver, which saved him $7,000 in total. Schiff did not request a comparable exemption for his property in Maryland.

MY BOYS THINK WE’RE CAMPING… BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WE’RE HOMELESS 💔 They’re still asleep right now. All three of them, curled up under that thin blue blanket like it’s the coziest thing in the world. I watch their little chests rise and fall and pretend—for just a moment—that this is just a fun vacation. We set up the tent behind a rest stop just past the county line. Technically we shouldn’t be there, but it’s quiet. The security guy gave me a look yesterday that said he wasn’t going to kick us out. Not yet. I told the boys we were going camping. “Just us guys,” I said, trying to make it sound like an adventure. Like I didn’t just sell my wedding ring three days ago for gas money and a jar of peanut butter. The thing is… they’re still young enough not to know the truth. To them, sleeping on air mattresses and eating cereal out of paper cups is fun. They think I’m brave. Like I have a real plan. But the truth? I’ve been calling every shelter from here to Roseville, and no one has space for four. One place said maybe Tuesday. Maybe. Their mom left six weeks ago. Said she was going to her sister’s. Left a note and half a bottle of Advil on the counter. I haven’t heard from her since. I’ve been holding it together somehow. Washing up in gas station bathrooms. Making up bedtime stories. Tucking them in every night like everything’s okay. But last night… my middle one, Micah, mumbled something in his sleep. He said, “Daddy, I like this better than the motel.” And that just about broke me. Because he meant it. And because I know tonight might be the last night I can make this feel like a game. As soon as they wake up, I have to tell them something I’ve been dreading. And just as I reached for the zipper on the tent— (Continues in the first comment 🗨️👇)
