Adam Schiff Secures California Senate Seat, Defeating Steve Garvey
Republican former MLB star Steve Garvey lost the California U.S. Senate race to Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, who succeeded the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Despite Garvey's attempt to leverage his sports fame and appeal to moderate voters, Schiff maintained a lead in funding and polls, focusing on national issues like abortion rights and contrasting his congressional experience with Garvey's outsider status. Schiff's victory continues the Democratic hold on the Senate seat in a state where Republicans have not won since 1988.
