WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press has declared that Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican former baseball star Steve Garvey will advance to the November election for California’s U.S. Senate seat based on an analysis of partial results from throughout the state. Schiff was declared the winner of one of the two general election slots about 30 minutes after polls closed in California. With an estimated 19% of the vote counted from parts of 30 of the state’s 58 counties, Schiff had a large lead over his nearest competitor. Garvey was declared the winner of the second general election slot when he about doubled the vote total of the candidate in third place, Rep. Katie Porter.
