Rep. Adam Schiff has announced his run for Senate, eyeing the seat currently held by 89-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It is the most crowded and high-profile primary race of the 2024 cycle.
The seat currently held by 89-year-old Dianne Feinstein is safely Democratic, but the rest of the 2024 Senate map is expected to be difficult for the party – with incumbents up for reelection in swing states like Michigan, Ohio, and Arizona. Democrats are also up for reelection in solidly conservative Montana and West Virginia.
Feinstein has not said whether she will run for reelection or retire next year. She told reporters she would likely make her decision"in a couple of months," but that she had no qualms with others entering the race before then."I think it's all fine. I think people should, if they want to run, run," Feinstein said the day before Schiff announced."For me, I just need a little bit more time.
Schiff, 62, rose to national prominence during former President Donald Trump's first impeachment. As House Intelligence Committee chairman, he played a key role in the investigation and also served as an impeachment manager."I wish I could say the threat of extremism is over. It is not," he said."Today's Republican Party is gutting the middle class and threatening our democracy. They aren't going to stop. We have to stop them.
Schiff also served on the panel investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was first elected to the House in 2000, after serving in the California Senate and an assistant U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles.
