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.

Schiff's victory continues the Democratic hold on the Senate seat in a state where Republicans have not won since 1988.

Alex Padilla and fact-checking website Politifact.com, which labeled it as "false."

"From LA Dodger to Senate Seat: The Unlikely Path to Political Victory"

Former LA Dodger Steve Garvey, a self-described "conservative moderate" with no political experience, unexpectedly came in second in California's jungle primary for the US Senate race, defeating two prominent progressive Democrats. Despite minimal campaigning and lack of policy articulation, he advanced to the runoff, with analysts attributing his success to three prominent Democrats splitting the progressive vote and Congressman Adam Schiff's campaign spending millions on TV ads "attacking" Garvey to raise his profile among conservative voters. Garvey's late-in-life Cameo career and past controversies have also come under scrutiny as he heads into the November face-off with Schiff.
