"California's 2024 Senate Primary: Democrats and GOP Compete in High-Stakes Race"

The California Senate primary is heating up as top Democrats, including Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Katie Porter, battle for the top two spots in a race that has seen an unexpected surge from Republican Steve Garvey. The top two vote-getters will advance to the general election, and with Schiff leading the field, the race for the second spot is intensifying. Additionally, several down-ballot House races in California are also likely to play a pivotal role in determining who controls the U.S. House, with competitive races in districts such as California's 22nd and 47th, and the 27th District where the last Republican House member is facing a tough challenge.
