LOS ANGELES (AP) — Congressman Adam Schiff’s Senate campaign says the California Democrat raised $8.1 million over the past three months, a period that includes his recent censure by the Republican-led House. His team says that’s a record for a Senate campaign for the April-through-June quarter in a year when an election isn’t taking place. The 2024 race is to fill the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Schiff rose to national prominence as the lead prosecutor in then-President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial. It’s not immediately clear how much of Schiff’s three-month total came after or around the censure vote on June 21. Schiff’s rivals include two House colleagues, Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.
