"Steve Garvey Surges in California Senate Poll Without TV Ads, Thanks to Adam Schiff's Support"
TL;DR Summary
Former Dodgers star and Republican Steve Garvey has surged to the top of a Senate poll in California's open primary, despite not running any TV ads, with Rep. Adam Schiff's campaign strategically mentioning Garvey in 60% of its broadcast ads. The race, which is the most expensive Senate campaign in state history, also features Rep. Katie Porter, and the top two finishers will advance to the general election regardless of party. Schiff's focus on Garvey is seen as an effort to consolidate the right-leaning vote, potentially making it easier for him to face a Republican in the general election rather than a fellow Democrat.
