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.

Democrat Adam Schiff, the California representative who rose to national prominence for leading the first Trump impeachment trial, defeated Republican challenger Steve Garvey in the race for the U.S. Senate seat once held by the late-Sen. Dianne Feinstein, according to the Associated Press.

Adam Schiff now holds the Senate seat that belonged to Dianne Feinstein for three decades. Surprising no one, the Democratic longtime congressman from Hollywood easily beat Republican and former Los Angeles Dodgers great Steve Garvey tonight.
