Rep. Schiff ran ads promoting Garvey because he was trying to avoid a general election matchup against a fellow Democrat like Rep. Barbara Lee or Rep. Katie Porter. Polls show Schiff will start the race against Garvey with at least a 15-point lead.
Chef Porter was always going to be hard to beat because of his national presence, and the endorsements of Nancy Pelosi and other key congressional leaders.
Adam Schiff should be the next senator from the state of California.
