Fresh off of being bounced from the House Intelligence Committee by new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA20), Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA30) has announced that he’s running to unseat Senator Dianne Feinstein in 2024.
Our democracy is at great risk. Because GOP leaders care more about power than anything else.
And because our economy isn’t working for millions of hard working Americans.
We’re in the fight of our lives—a fight I’m ready to lead as California’s next U.S. Senator. pic.twitter.com/H0Pa0EhhMu

He is not alone in that ambition.
Orange County Representative Katie Porter (D-CA47) was the first to announce a run, shortly after having won re-election to her seat in the House of Representatives. Other Democrats expressing interest include Barbara Lee (D-CA12) and Ro Khanna (D-CA17).
Senator Feinstein has not yet announced whether she will seek re-election.
