Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff has won the California US Senate seat long held by the late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein after a lopsided, low-key contest.
The Jewish Los Angeles-area congressman, who rose to national prominence as the lead prosecutor in then-President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, defeated Republican former baseball star Steve Garvey, who had tried to parlay his sports celebrity into a political upset.
Schiff shaped his campaign around national issues including abortion rights while continuing to play a foil to Trump, calling the former president a threat to democracy.
New York’s George Latimer, who was heavily backed by pro-Israel group AIPAC in a June primary against US Rep. Jamaal Bowman, beats Republican Dr. Miriam Levitt Flisser.
In Ohio, Republican Bernie Moreno is projected to beat incumbent Sherrod Brown, flipping a second seat for Republicans and likely giving them a majority in the chamber.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
