The race to replace the oldest sitting senator just got even more competitive, and Feinstein could still be in the running for a sixth full term.
California’s Senate race just got more competitive now that Representative Adam Schiff is officially running to take over Senator Dianne Feinstein’s seat in 2024.

Although the contest in California will be solidly blue, it is already shaping up to be highly competitive. Representative Katie Porter, a rising star in the Democratic Party, also announced she would be running for Feinstein’s seat. Democratic Representatives Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna have also signaled interest in the position but have not made any public bids.
