Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff of California has formally filed his application to take over Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s vacant Senate seat.
Schiff officially entered the race on Monday night, announcing it on X, formerly Twitter, after earlier this year the House censured him for his claims that Trump and Russia conspired to win the 2016 election.
“It’s official – I just filed my paperwork and will be on the ballot to be California’s next United States Senator,” Schiff wrote. “92 days until the March 5th primary – see you on the campaign trail!”
Among his opponents in this crowded race are Republican attorney Eric Early as well as fellow House Democrats Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.
