California Democrats are fighting over Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat before the 89-year-old has announced whether she is considering another run.
Multiple prominent Democrats in the blue stronghold state have been making moves behind the scenes to prepare in pursuit of the six-year post, setting the stage for one of the most competitive Senate primaries in the 2024 election.So far, Rep. Katie Porter is the only prominent Democrat to have declared, but her preemptive announcement may force other prospective nominees to up their timetable for a decision on whether to run.
Porter has been a rising star in progressive circles and managed to win a House seat in a competitive district two times in a row, most recently fending off a tough Republican challenge in the midterm elections.Rep. Adam Schiff quickly rose through the Democratic ranks in the House, becoming a lead impeachment manager against former President Donald Trump. Despite his high profile, Schiff bowed out of the running for a top House Democrat leadership post in spite of rumors he would challenge Rep.
This fueled further speculation that he has been eyeing a Senate run, and he has publicly admitted that he is considering a 2024 bid. He has reportedly sought advice from former Sen. Barbara Boxer about whether to run.Rep. Ro Khanna has been prodded to run by allies of Sen. Bernie Sanders . Schiff and Porter may be fundraising juggernauts, but Khanna has made significant inroads with the Silicon Valley elite, which may help him to undercut such fiscal firepower, according to Politico.
The 2024 Senate map nationally is expected to be difficult for Democrats, but California remains a safe bet. In 2024, 20 Democrats and three Democratic-aligned independent senators are up for reelection, dramatically eclipsing the Republicans' 11. Having far more seats to defend is expected to give Republicans a fundraising and logistical advantage, though Democrats defied expectations in the 2022 midterm cycle.
