California Presidential and Senate Primary Results: Biden and Trump Win, Schiff and Garvey Headed for November Election
California voters took to the polls on Tuesday to participate in several crucial races, including the US President, Prop. 1, US Senate, and local contests such as LA County DA and Measure HLA. The results of the presidential primaries revealed that both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump secured victories in their respective parties, setting the stage for a highly anticipated November rematch.
In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Biden and Trump emerged as the clear winners by the end of Super Tuesday, solidifying their positions as the frontrunners for their party nominations. The path to the November election seems relatively straightforward for these two political heavyweights.
Meanwhile, the race for the U.S. Senate seat in California is heating up, with Democrat U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican former baseball player Steve Garvey poised to face off. This election is of particular significance as it will determine who will fill the U.S. Senate seat held by the late Dianne Feinstein for three decades. However, it’s important to note that this contest is not just for one term but also involves competing for the remainder of Feinstein’s term between the November election and the January inauguration of a new senator, as well as running for a full six-year term.
Another notable race is that of LA County District Attorney, where George Gascón will head to a November runoff election in an attempt to retain his position. Gascón faced fierce competition from a pack of 11 challengers who aimed to unseat him. In the upcoming November election, Gascón is likely to square off against Nathan Hochman, a former U.S. assistant attorney general who previously ran as the Republican candidate for state attorney general in the 2022 general election.
As the primary results continue to pour in, it is evident that the political landscape in California is undergoing significant shifts. The outcomes of these races will undoubtedly shape the future of the state and have far-reaching implications on the national stage.
