For about a year, Schiff, Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA), and Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) have all been in the race for Senate. Senators, Congressional members, mayors, and state lawmakers have all split their endorsements amongst the three, with Schiff and Lee receiving the most. On Sunday, the Times finally gave the endorsement to Schiff, giving him further momentum going into the second half of January. “The three representatives are smart, experienced, savvy members of the House who could represent California well in the Senate,” said the Times in their endorsement. But there are some who are switching to Schiff or deciding on Schiff now because of this.
