The Los Angeles Times editorial board has endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) in the highly competitive race to be California’s next senator. Schiff has been in Congress for more than 20 years and served as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee between 2019 and 2023. In 2023, a new-look majority Republican U.S. House censured Schiff for his actions while Trump was president, something Schiff has worn as a badge of honor. With the growing possibility of Trump securing the GOP presidential nomination, the Times board argued that Schiff is needed in the Senate now more than ever. Latest polls show Porter and Garvey trailing Schiff ahead of the March 5 California Primary.
