Former Major League Baseball slugger Steve Garvey has moved ahead of U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff in California’s U.S. Senate primary – a significant feat despite the November runoff having already been determined.
As of Wednesday morning, Garvey led Schiff by an incredibly slim margin of just 4,801 votes with more than 5 million votes tallied, about 85% of expected returns.
Schiff, one of the leading Democrats in the U.S. House, will face Garvey, a Republican, in November to determine who succeeds the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein. California puts all candidates, regardless of party, on the same primary ballot, and the two who get the most votes advance to the general election.
Whether Garvey retains the lead remains to be seen. However, the former Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres star is attempting to seize the moment.
A Republican hasn’t won a statewide race for any office in California since 2006.

Barbara Jackson?
Barbara Lee ???
LOL........
Wouldn’t the appropriate date to finish a Democrat-run vote count and announce the results be April 1st?
Has anyone mentioned Steve Garvey’s nickname from players was Popeye, due to his more muscular than usual forearms.
Trump, of course called Schiff “pencil neck” but I honestly don’t think he is one. His bulging eyeballs are goofy expressions are repulsive but his neck just looks flabby to me. Full disclosure: I hate every molecule of his being. To put it nicely.
Will he also inherit Feinstein's ChiCom driver?
“Meaningless, Schiff will get between 55-60% in the general election”
Yep, sad but very true. There were other Rats running in the primary and those votes will certainly go to Schiff.
They’re still counting? What a mess.
Shocking, I tell you.
He must be colluding with Russia./sarc
