Schiff and Garvey Advance in California in Senate Race to Fill Feinstein's Seat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, Democratic Congressmember Adam Schiff and the Republican
baseball-star-turned-politician Steve Garvey are headed for a showdown
in November to fill the Senate seat of the late Dianne Feinstein. Schiff
and Garvey won the top two spots in California's closely watched
nonpartisan primary. Protesters chanting "ceasefire now" interrupted
Schiff's victory speech.

Rep. Adam Schiff: "It would not be possible to get through all the
travails of these challenging times without my incredible family."

Protesters: "Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now!"

Rep. Adam Schiff: "I also want to thank my brother Dan and my brother
David, who's also here this evening."

Democratic Congressmembers Katie Porter and Barbara Lee placed third and
fourth in the California Senate primary. Lee was the only candidate on
the ballot who supports a ceasefire in Gaza.
