“What will it take to get Schiff voted out of his San Diego seat in November?”
The last time Schiff’s seat was won by a Republican was 2000.
Schiff has recorded 78% of the vote in his district during both of the last 2 elections. In 2018 he beat the Republican 196,662 to 54,272. Assuming the same number of people vote in 2020, it will take 125,468 votes to win. Hillary won 72.1% of the presidential vote in the district in 2016. The district comprises some of the most liberal neighborhoods in California including West Hollywood, Burbank, parts of Pasadena, Hollywood, Hollywood Hills.
It will take a great candidate and a huge turnout of anti-Schiff Republicans (if there are any in the district) and independents to defeat Schiff in 2018. Plus a huge amount of money. In the 2018 elections Schiff’s Republican opponent raised $36,370 and spent all but $37 of the total. Adam Schiff raised $6,268,995 and spent $$3,660,828. His war chest for 2020 already has over $4.7 million. Likely his Hollywood friends would more than double that number if he felt the least bit threatened.
