Adam Schiff capitalizes on Trump’s California visit to raise funds for Senate campaign.

Rep. Adam Schiff Fundraises for Senate Bid Ahead of Trump’s Visit ‍to California

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is seizing the opportunity ⁢to engage supporters and ‍raise funds for his Senate bid as former President Donald Trump plans to visit⁢ California later this month. Schiff’s campaign ⁣for outgoing Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) seat sent ⁤out a compelling fundraising ⁣email,‌ highlighting Trump’s upcoming appearance at the state ​Republican ​Party’s fall‍ convention.

“Donald Trump is coming to ⁢California in ​just three weeks,” ‍the email reads. ⁢”He will be ⁢headlining‌ a massive event for the California Republican Party before ‌heading to his ​own fundraiser in⁣ Costa Mesa — and tickets are selling⁤ for as much as $23,000. I ⁢can‍ think of 23,000 better ⁣ways to spend your money. Here’s one: Instead of getting ‍a‍ photo-op with Donald Trump for $23,000, I’m asking you to donate⁢ $2.30‌ to help‌ protect our ‍democracy and make sure he never gets back ⁢to ​the White House.”

Trump ​is among the ‌four 2024 GOP hopefuls ‌scheduled to speak at ⁣the event,​ which will take place on September 29 in Anaheim, ‍California. Gov.⁣ Ron⁣ DeSantis (R-FL), Sen. Tim ⁣Scott (R-SC), and⁣ biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will also address the convention that weekend.

Schiff,​ who represents the Burbank, ‌Glendale, and Hollywood​ areas ‍of Los ‍Angeles, is​ engaged⁤ in a competitive ‌race for Feinstein’s coveted Senate seat. Public polling shows Schiff and Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) in a close‍ race for the top ​spot, with Rep. Barbara Lee⁤ (D-CA) ‌not far behind within ‍the margin of error in most surveys. The race also includes baseball ​legend Steve Garvey, considering a bid as a‍ moderate Republican, and former tech executive Lexi Reese, a Democrat who raised ⁢an impressive million in‌ the second quarter of this ‌year but ‍is relatively unknown in ⁢the state.

However, the ‌majority of California voters‌ remain undecided, leaving ⁢the contest ‌wide open. California operates with a “jungle primary” ⁣system, where ⁢candidates from‍ all ‍parties ‍compete to ⁤be​ one of ‌the two finalists in the general⁢ election. ⁢Given​ the⁣ state’s heavily Democratic lean, it is not⁣ uncommon for two Democrats to advance to ​the general⁢ election.

Schiff boasts‍ an impressive fundraising network ‌and the support of former House⁣ Speaker⁤ Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), a powerhouse‍ in California politics. However,⁣ he faces ⁤the challenge of establishing​ a strong ‌connection⁤ to the northern and central parts of the state, an advantage ⁢that ⁢Rep. Barbara Lee possesses. Despite ‌leading the Intelligence Committee and having ‍an impressive national security background,⁢ Schiff lacks a significant national profile outside of his ‌battles with⁣ Trump.
