The Senate race in California to replace the late Dianne Feinstein is starting to take shape. The likely winner immediately will become one of the worst members of the chamber: Adam Schiff.

Schiff is pulling ahead in polls, jumping from 16% in November 2023 to 25% in January, according to Emerson College polling. Schiff is almost certainly a lock to finish in the top two in California’s open primary, setting him up for a one-on-one runoff with whoever finishes in second.

The question is: Who will be that second-place finisher to get the one-on-one shot against Schiff? For now, it looks like it will be former MLB All-Star Steve Garvey, who is running as a Republican. He has jumped from 10% to 18% over the last few months, according to Emerson, surpassing the stagnant 13% of Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA). Porter’s team is getting worried, with a recent campaign fundraising pitch warning, “If Katie falls into third place, she won’t advance to the general election, and we’ll lose her voice in Washington for good.”

So yes, there is some good news in California.

Unfortunately, though, Garvey likely is running a doomed campaign anyway. California backed Joe Biden for president by 29 points in 2020, and Schiff probably will see a similar margin of victory given that Garvey’s name will be accompanied by the Republican label. That means Adam Schiff walks into the Senate and will remain there for the next 20 or more years.

It would be hard to find someone less deserving. Schiff lied to the public about having “direct evidence” that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election, which he did knowing that no such evidence was presented in closed-door hearings. He used the threat of the federal government to demand that Twitter, a private company, censor users by banning accounts and deleting tweets. When Republicans removed him from the House Intelligence Committee, he proved how wise their decision was by hopping on the Chinese spyware app TikTok to complain about it.

In a just world, Schiff would be unable to get elected to his local school board. Unfortunately, California is not a just state, and Schiff’s malfeasance as the top House Intelligence Democrat earned him the goodwill of many Democrats who loved his live-action role-playing performance as a leader of “the Resistance.” He will become one of the worst members of the Senate upon being sworn in, a testament to how little California voters think of both Congress and themselves.
