Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey to run for Feinstein’s seat

[msmerymac]

Schiff was briefly my congressional representative (after redistributing in 2010) and he’s fine and stuff, but I was hoping for Katie Porter.

I heard Schiff speak last year. He has good campaigning skills, I’ll give him that.

I remember when Steve Garvey was the star player for the Padres and every local kid’s hero. It’s so hard for me to see him spouting MAGA nonsense.

Damn, I voted for Porter. I guess Schiff will be fine.

I voted for Porter too. More votes went for Garvey in a lot of counties you wouldn’t expect but I think that’s all due to his sports celebrity status and the vote being split between so many Dems. The total number of Dem votes was more than the R votes in most of those cases. Schiff has a lot more $$$ to pour into ads, like Garvey.

We also voted for Porter. I'm disappointed.

I also read some unkind things about Schiff propping up Garvey in his ads to give him more name recognition so he'd get the 2nd spot in the election and not Katie Porter, because he knew it'd be a tougher race against her. I mean I get it, it's politics, this is how it works, I just don't like it.

Another Porter voter who's disappointed. I'm not a huge fan of Schiff and was ready for some new blood in general getting into the mix.

I heard the same on NPR this morning.

I adore Katie Porter & am sad she lost. I read this will be the first time CA hasn't had a female senator in 32 years, which is amazing and sad.

I voted for Lee and MH voted for Porter, but we'll both be in for Schiff.

I have always liked Porter. It was disappointing to hear her say the election was rigged in her concession speech.
