Opinion: Handicapping California’s 2024 Senate race, Adam Schiff is the early frontrunner
For much of the last few years, Ro Khanna was considered a lock to run for the U.S. Senate when Democrat Dianne Feinstein eventually succumbed to old age and opted to retire.
The four-term incumbent and former presidential campaign co-chair for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders cited a private poll the other day when indicating he’ll stay out of next year’s Senate primary, now shaping up as an all-Democrat dogfight among Burbank Congressman Adam Schiff, Orange County Congresswoman Katie Porter and Oakland Congresswoman Barbara Lee.
Right now, it appears that unless Republicans find an Arnold Schwarzenegger-like non-politician to bear their standard next year, California can figure the GOP will have no hope of picking up this longtime Democratic seat.First, there’s the question of why each of the three Democrats is running.
Schiff, 62, with his longtime involvement in major issues, is a natural as a Senate candidate. But he’s a white male in a state that has exclusively elected women to the Senate for the last 31 years. And he voted to support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
