Rep. Adam Schiff quickly soared to victory in California’s U.S. Senate race Tuesday, coming out ahead of former Dodgers star Steve Garvey. The contest was called by the Associated Press and other news organizations as soon as the polls closed in California.

Republican former baseball star Steve Garvey was defeated by Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff on Tuesday in the race for the California U.S. Senate seat long held by the late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Garvey, a Republican, and Schiff, a Democrat, vied for the seat long held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who died in September 2023. Sen. Laphonza Butler, who was appointed to the seat by Gov. Gavin Newsom, decided not to run for it.
