CALIFORNIA. AND THANKS FOR JOINING US. AS WE COME INTO OUR FINAL HALF HOUR OF THIS PRIMARY ELECTION NIGHT COVERAGE, WE’RE GOING TO TRY AND WRAP UP AS MUCH AS WE CAN. AS WE KNOW, THE VOTES ARE STILL GOING TO BE COMING IN EVEN AFTER TONIGHT, BUT WE’RE GOING TO TRY AND GIVE YOU A CLEARER PICTURE AS WHERE THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW WITH THE ELECTIONS. LET’S START WITH THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT. AND IT’S BEEN CALLED IN BOTH CATEGORIES, AS IT HAS IN ALL THE OTHERS. SUPER TUESDAY PRIMARY STATES. DEMOCRAT. PRESIDENT. DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT. I SHOULD SAY, UM, GOT A COMMANDING LEAD 90% THERE. CALIFORNIA HAS. 100, 495 DELEGATES AT STAKE. SO THAT IS A QUARTER OF THE NUMBER THAT HE NEEDS IN ORDER TO PICK UP THE NOMINATION ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. LET’S CHECK IN NOW WITH THE REPUBLICANS. PRESIDENT TRUMP ALSO WITH A STRONG LEAD, 76% TO NIKKI HALEY’S 20%, UH, ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, 50 PLUS ONE GETS ALL THE DELEGATES. SO THAT’S 169 THAT TRUMP PICKS UP HERE IN CALIFORNIA. AND THE TOP TWO VOTE GETTERS IN THE U.S. SENATE RACE TONIGHT, ADAM SCHIFF AND STEVE GARVEY. THEY WILL MOVE ON TO THE GENERAL ELECTION. KATIE PORTER AND BARBARA LEE, UH, BOTH OF THE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS IN THIS RACE FALLING SHORT. SO, UH, IT WAS AN INTERESTING NIGHT AS, UH, ADAM SCHIFF DECIDED TO TAKE TO THE STAGE FOR WHAT WAS GOING TO BE A VICTORY SPEECH. YES, A PROTEST RIGHT AT HIS OWN CAMPAIGN PARTY. LET’S CHECK IN WITH ANDREA FLORES, WHO IS AT THAT SITE OF THE PARTY IN LOS ANGELES. AND, YEAH, IT WAS PRETTY CHAOTIC FOR A WHILE. IT WAS VERY CHAOTIC. I FEEL LIKE IT’S IT’S REALLY BEEN A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS. IF YOU WERE HERE TONIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD AT THE AVALON RIGHT OFF OF THE THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME, IT STARTED OFF WITH SUCH AN UPBEAT MOOD, UPBEAT TONE, AND THEN THINGS QUICKLY TOOK A TURN DURING CONGRESSMAN SCHIFF’S COMMENTS HERE AS HE WAS THANKING HIS SUPPORTERS. OF COURSE, THOSE REMARKS WERE DISRUPTED BY PROTESTERS HERE CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE IN GAZA, AND THEY WERE VERY OUTSPOKEN AGAINST THE WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. AND THAT TOOK PLACE REALLY JUST RIGHT HERE. JUST STEPS AWAY FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. IT WAS DOWN IN THE THICK OF WHERE ALL THE SUPPORTERS WERE STANDING. AND REALLY, IT SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF THOSE, UH, PROTESTERS INFILTRATED, UH, SEEMINGLY A GROUP OF SUPPORTERS HERE. AND REALLY TURNED THE NIGHT UPSIDE DOWN. THINGS ARE QUIETING DOWN NOW. OF COURSE, CREWS ARE HERE BREAKING DOWN, AND MOST OF THE SUPPORTERS HAVE SINCE LEFT. BUT I DO WANT TO MENTION, IF WE TAKE A LOOK HERE AT THE BALCONY, UH, SCHIFF DID MAKE A RETURN HERE. THIS WAS AN AREA THAT WAS KIND OF A MORE VIP ALL ACCESS AREA THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE HE HAD A MOMENT TO THINK. SOME SOME CLOSE SUPPORTERS THERE. SO DID MAKE A QUICK RETURN AND THEN EXITED. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET ANY ONE ON ONE SOUND WITH CONGRESSWOMAN SCHIFF TODAY. BUT AGAIN, WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS MOMENT WHEN THAT DISRUPTION BROKE OUT. SO YOU HAD A CHANCE. YOU HAD A CHANCE TO MEET MY WONDERFUL WIFE, EVE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A VIDEO OF WHEN THAT DISRUPTION TOOK PLACE. I THINK TAKING A LOT OF PEOPLE BY SURPRISE. UH, VERY CALM ATMOSPHERE TURNED INTO CHAOS VERY QUICKLY. A LOT OF HEATED EXCHANGE BETWEEN SCHIFF SUPPORTERS AND PROTESTERS HERE. BUT HERE’S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY IN THE REMARKS THAT HE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT. GRASSROOTS TEAM. MY GREAT, GREAT GRATITUDE TO ALL OF MY WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RIGHT OF OUR PROTESTERS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL AND ONWARD TO VICTORY IN NOVEMBER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY. AND AGAIN, WE WANT TO MENTION ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WAS ON STAGE WITH CONGRESSMAN SCHIFF TONIGHT WAS FORMER L.A. MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA HAS BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN THE L.A. COMMUNITY AND IN CALIFORNIA POLITICS AS A WHOLE. AND EVEN AT THE, UH, THE NATIONAL LEVEL. AND WE ASKED WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN BEEN THE PROTESTERS HERE AND THE SUPPORTERS EARLIER TONIGHT, ISSUES OF LIFE AND DEATH. THEY’RE IMPORTANT ISSUES. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU IF WE WANT PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO US, STOP SCREAMING. SO AGAIN, WORDS FROM FORMER L.A. MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA AND, UH, AGAIN, AS AS THINGS START TO WRAP UP HERE, I THINK THE BIGGEST THING AND THE THING THAT WE HEARD FROM VOTERS EARLIER TODAY WHEN WE WERE AT A VOTING CENTER IN GLENDALE, WHICH IS, UH, CONGRESSMAN SCHIFF’S DISTRICT, THE 30TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IS THAT VOTERS ARE REALLY GOING INTO THE ELECTIONS WANTING TO KNOW WHERE CANDIDATES STAND ON ON THE WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. AND SOME OF THEM SAID THAT WILL DRIVE THEIR DECISION. THAT’S GOING TO DRIVE WHO THEY VOTE FOR. SO IT’LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE VOTERS TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND THE INFORMATION THAT CANDIDATES ARE PUTTING OUT THEIR STANCE ABOUT THE ONGOING WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS, AND HOW THAT WILL INFLUENCE THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. AND AS WE HEAD INTO NOVEMBER, WE’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU LIVE FROM HOLLYWOOD. ALL RIGHT, ANDREA, THANK YOU. WE SHOULD POINT OUT BOTH OF THOSE CANDIDATES WERE PRETTY CLEAR ON THE RECORD THAT THEY SUPPORT ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF. AND BOTH WERE, YOU KNOW, UH, TOOK STRONG POSITIONS ON THAT. WELL, TO THAT POINT, TALKING ABOUT STEVE GARVEY AND ADAM SCHIFF. AND WE’RE GOING TO GO TO THE STEVE GARVEY HEADQUARTERS RIGHT NOW. WE’RE MICHELLE BANDUR WAS EARLIER TODAY AS STEVE GARVEY, UH, ALSO GAVE HIS VICTORY SPEECH IN PALM DESERT. STEVE GARVEY AND HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE GONE HOME WITH A VICTORY UNDER THEIR BELT, THANKING CALIFORNIA VOTERS FOR BRINGING STEVE GARVEY TO THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION AS THE REPUBLICAN IN THIS RACE FOR THE US SENATE SEAT. HE USED A LOT OF BASEBALL JARGON HERE TONIGHT, SAYING HE IS AS EXCITED AS HE WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF 69 WHEN HE FIRST PUT ON THAT DODGERS UNIFORM. UM, GOT UP INTO THE BATTER’S BOX AND LOOKED AROUND SAYING THAT THIS IS WHAT HARD WORK AND DEDICATION LOOKS LIKE. AND HE SAYS THAT’S WHAT HE HAS IN STORE FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, PUTTING HIS HARD WORK AND DEDICATION IN TO WIN THAT SENATE SEAT. WELL, KNOW THIS IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER. WE’VE GOT TO THE STARTING LINE. AND THAT QUOTE YOU ALL KNOW IS TRUE IN BASEBALL AND IT’S TRUE IN POLITICS. AND MY OPPONENT HAS BEEN ADVERTISING THAT HE HE WANTS ME AND HE’S MISTAKING KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS. REMEMBER THAT OLD SAYING BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR. WELL HE’S LIKE THE PITCHER THAT THROWS ME 70 MILE AN HOUR FASTBALLS. AND THEN WATCHES ME RUN AROUND THE BASES. I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH. ALL OF YOU HERE TONIGHT THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA AND THROUGHOUT THIS GREAT COUNTRY. GARVEY SAID HE COULD HAVE EASILY JUST ENJOYED HIS RETIREMENT, ENJOYED HIS LIFE WITH HIS FAMILY. BUT HE SAID ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS AGO, HE WOKE UP AND TURNED ON THE NEWS AND SAID HE WATCHED AN IMPLODING WASHINGTON AND POLITICIANS WHO WERE FAILING THE VOTERS. SO HE SAID HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. REPORTING FROM PALM DESERT MICHELLE BANDUR KCRA 3 NEWS. AND AS WE’RE COVERING THE SENATE ELECTION, WE ALSO WANT TO GO TO LYSEE MITRI, WHO HAS BEEN COVERING THE KATY PORTER CAMPAIGN. THE END OF THAT CONGRESSWOMAN’S CAREER. FOR NOW. THAT PARTY WAS IN LONG BEACH. THINGS CLEARED OUT HERE AT THE BUNGALOW IN LONG BEACH, WHERE CONGRESSWOMAN KATIE PORTER WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT ELECTION PARTY. OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTING FOR HER TONIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THE STAGE THAT’S BEING DISMANTLED RIGHT NOW WHERE CONGRESSWOMAN PORTER SPOKE. SHE SAID, WE KNOW WE WILL COME UP SHORT. AND SHE REALLY SEEMED TO BE ATTRIBUTING THAT TO THE ADVERTISING AGAINST HER AND THOSE ADS THAT WERE ELEVATING THE REPUBLICAN FRONTRUNNER AGAINST HER. GARVEY. SO SHE SAID, BASICALLY, THE OPPONENT THREW EVERY PLAYBOOK AT US THAT THEY COULD TO TRY TO KNOCK US OFF OUR FEET. BUT SHE SAID, I’M STILL STANDING IN HIGH HEELS. TAKE A LISTEN. SO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I WANT TO SAY TONIGHT IS THANK YOU, BECAUSE OF YOU, WE HAD THE ESTABLISHMENT RUNNING SCARED WITH STANDING 3 TO 1 IN TV, SPENDING AND AN ONSLAUGHT OF BILLIONAIRES WHO SPENT MILLIONS IONS PEDDLING LIES AND OUR OPPONENTS SPENDING MORE TO BOOST THE REPUBLICAN THAN PROMOTING HIS OWN CAMPAIGN. YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU REALLY. EACH AND EVERY ONE, ONE OF YOU, FOR THE SUPPORT THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN ME IN THIS CAMPAIGN. AND OVER THE YEARS. AND WE DID TRY TO SPEAK WITH HER AFTER THAT CONCESSION SPEECH, BUT SHE KIND OF MADE HER WAY FROM THE STAGE, TALKED TO HER SUPPORTERS. SHE TOOK PICTURES. SHE GAVE HUGS. WE WERE TOLD SHE WOULD SPEAK TO THOSE SUPPORTERS FIRST, AND THEN SHE WAS QUICKLY USHERED OUT AND WE WERE TOLD SHE WAS DONE FOR THE NIGHT. REPORTING HERE IN LONG BEACH, LYSEE MITRI. KCRA THREE NEWS. YOU KNOW, AS WE’RE LOOKING AT THIS BIG TRANSITION PERIOD WITH CALIFORNIA’S TWO U.S. SENATORS UNTIL RECENTLY, FOR DECADES, WE HAD TWO WOMEN WHO WERE ELECTED WHEN WHAT WAS CALLED THE YEAR OF THE WOMEN, BARBARA BOXER AND DIANNE FEINSTEIN. POWERHOUSE. UM, NOW WE HAVE ALEX PADILLA AND NOW THE SENIOR SENATOR POSITION AND TWO MEN ADVANCING TO NOVEMBER. SO THAT’S A BIG CHANGE FOR OUR STATE. THIS IS A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC. YES. IT IS SORT OF A TREND THAT WE’RE SEEING. IT’S SORT OF THE YEAR OF THE MAN HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I MEAN, NOT ONLY THERE IN CONGRESS, BUT ALSO RIGHT HERE AT HOME. WE HAVE THE GOVERNOR, WHO IS A MAN, THE LEADER OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY, WHO IS NOW A MAN, THE LEADER OF THE STATE SENATE, WHO IS NOW A MAN. SO JUST IT MUST BE THE YEAR OF THE MAN. OKAY. IT’S ABOUT TIME. I GUESS I’M NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING. UM, NO, BUT JUST JUST YOUR THOUGHTS ON. I MEAN, JUST SEEING WHAT WE HAVE NOW SET UP FOR THIS SENATE RACE. I MEAN, IT WAS, I THINK THE YOU KNOW, BIGGEST, MOST INTERESTING THING TONIGHT WAS THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL VICTORY MOMENT FOR ADAM SCHIFF. YOU KNOW, HE’S LOOKING AHEAD CRUISING TO NOVEMBER AND WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THIS VERY SWEET MOMENT FOR HIM WAS OBVIOUSLY KIND OF TRAMPLED ON BY THIS POLITICAL CONTROVERSY. I THINK IT SPEAKS TO HOW IMPASSIONED AND CONTENTIOUS THIS POLITICAL MOMENT IS AROUND THE ISSUE OF THE WAR IN GAZA, AND HE’S GOING TO HAVE TO PROBABLY ADDRESS THAT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR MONTHS TO COME. DEFINITELY. BUT YOU LOOK AT THAT ISSUE FOR THESE TWO PARTICULAR CANDIDATES, AND THAT’S ONE THING THEY ACTUALLY HAVE IN COMMON. OH, YEAH. NO, ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, I THINK THERE’S VERY FEW CANDIDATES OUT THERE RIGHT NOW WHO ARE CALLING FOR CEASEFIRE. AND THAT’S PROBABLY WHY YOU’RE SEEING PROTESTERS GETTING MORE AND MORE AGGRESSIVE ABOUT THEIR TACTICS, TRYING TO CATCH PEOPLE’S ATTENTION, TRYING TO GET THEIR MESSAGE THROUGH. BECAUSE DESPITE MONTHS AND MONTHS OF WAR, PEOPLE LIKE ADAM SCHIFF HAVE NOT REALLY SHIFTED THEIR POSITION AT ALL. OKAY. THANKS, ALEXI. ALL RIGHT. WELL, IN ADDITION TO CALIFORNIA, OF COURSE, MORE THAN A DOZEN STATES HOLDING ELECTIONS TODAY AND WHAT WE NOW CALL SUPER TUESDAY WITH NEARLY A THIRD OF ALL POSSIBLE DELEGATES IS UP FOR GRABS. OF COURSE, A MAJOR NIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO THE WHITE HOUSE. SO LET’S GO TO TY RIGHT NOW. HE’S GOT THE WINS AND LOSSES. YEAH. BOTH PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP NOW HAVE MORE THAN HALF THE DELEGATES NEEDED TO WIN THEIR PARTY’S NOMINATION. DONALD TRUMP IS PROJECTED TO WIN CALIFORNIA, AS WELL AS ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, COLORADO, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MINNESOTA, NORTH CAROLINA, OKLAHOMA, TENNESSEE, TEXAS AND VIRGINIA. BUT IT WAS NOT A CLEAN SWEEP. NIKKI HALEY IS PROJECTED TO WIN THE VERMONT PRIMARY, AND SHE WON JUST MORE THAN HALF THE VOTES IN VERMONT, WHICH IS AN OPEN PRIMARY. THAT MEANS INDEPENDENTS AND DEMOCRATS ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY, ALONG WITH REPUBLICANS. SO. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE UPDATED REPUBLICAN DELEGATE COUNT. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP NOW HAS NEARLY A THOUSAND DELEGATES. HE’S MORE THAN HALFWAY TO WINNING THE PARTY’S NOMINATION. HALEY HAS 92. IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS WINNING WITH EVERY STATE HOLDING ELECTIONS TODAY, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA. BUT THE PRESIDENT LOST THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS IN AMERICAN SAMOA WITH LESS THAN 100 PEOPLE VOTING THERE. BUSINESSMAN JASON PALMER WAS DECLARED THE WINNER, GAINING SIX DELEGATES. SO EVEN WITH THE LOSS, THE PRESIDENT NOW HAS MORE THAN 1500 DELEGATES. JUST A FEW HUNDRED DELEGATES AWAY FROM THAT MAGIC NUMBER. 1968. PRESIDENT BIDEN DID NOT ATTEND ANY POLITICAL EVENTS TONIGHT. INSTEAD, HIS OFFICE SAYS HE WAS PREPARING TO DELIVER HIS THIRD STATE OF THE NATIO

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
One of two U.S. senators representing California could be either a Democrat or Republican as the two frontrunners who emerged are Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey.
With the top-two system, the two top vote-getters regardless of political affiliation advance to the November general election.
Democrats are expected to easily hold the Senate seat in November, a relief for the party as it seeks to defend a narrow majority. But the campaign still represents a new era in California politics, which was long dominated by Feinstein and a handful of other veteran politicians.
Schiff gained national attention as a leading antagonist to former President Donald Trump during his years in the White House. He was a leading voice during Trump’s two impeachments, prompting House Republicans to take the extraordinary step of censuring him after they gained control of the chamber.
That only deepened his appeal in the Democratic stronghold of California, helping Schiff become a favorite of the party’s establishment and lifting him to become a fundraising powerhouse in a massively expensive primary campaign.
Schiff’s victory speech was interrupted by a fiery crowd of protestors chanting, “Ceasefire now!” and “Free Palestine!”
“We want to make sure we keep this kind of democracy,” Schiff said, trying to appeal to the crowd.
Meanwhile, Garvey, a former Major League Baseball star player, has voted for Trump twice and has not been open about whether he still supports him to this day.
Garvey’s candidacy, buoyed by name recognition among older voters in particular, threw an unexpected twist into the race. The dynamic between Schiff and U.S. Rep. Katie Porter grew increasingly tense in the campaign’s closing weeks as both vied for a general election spot.
The first-time candidate Garvey notched his spot on the fall ballot by positioning himself as an outsider running against entrenched Washington insiders who he blamed for rising grocery and gas prices, out-of-reach housing costs and an unchecked homeless crisis in cities.
“Let’s celebrate,” Garvey said when he walked out on stage in his victory speech. “Welcome to the California comeback.”
In a speech laden with baseball terminology, Garvey highlighted concerns with the border, inflation, homeless crisis, crime and foreign policy. He also appealed to voters tired of career politicians.
Ahead of polls closing, candidate Barbara Lee stopped at her campaign headquarters in Oakland and spoke with reporters before she left for Washington D.C.
“People understand that I hear them, I see them, that I want to make their lives better,” Lee said. “I’m experienced and have a deep and broad background in foreign policy and international relations. Right now, we need people in the United States Senate who can hit the ground running.”
Both she and Katie Porter will not be advancing to November.
