Terrible News for Adam Schiff’s Senate Campaign

Adam Schiff has just received some devastating news for his Senate campaign.

In this year’s second quarter, Schiff’s opponent, Republican Steve Garvey, has out-funded Schiff by a HUGE margin — a whopping $1.2 million!

The message is clear: Californians are sick of Shifty Schiff and Crooked Democrats!

Steve Garvey, who is not a politician by a retired baseball legend, posted this on X:

The East Bay Times has more details:

Republican Steve Garvey outraised his Democratic opponent Adam Schiff in California’s U.S. Senate race from April 1 through June 30 by over $1 million, despite recent polls showing Garvey more than 20 points behind in the deep blue state.

The baseball star and political rookie, Garvey, got 31.5% of the vote in the March primary, coming in second to Congressman Schiff, who got 31.6% of the vote. Democratic voters were split between several big-name Democrats, including East Bay Rep. Barbara Lee and progressive Southern California Rep. Katie Porter.

Garvey’s campaign reported raising over $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, while Schiff’s campaign raised $4.2 million during the same period.

In a press release, Garvey’s campaign celebrated that they had outraised Schiff in the most recent reporting period. According to Garvey’s campaign, “110,000 individuals contributed… with 67,000 individuals in the second quarter of 2024 alone.”

Newsweek noted:

Republican Steve Garvey’s fundraising eclipsed that of Representative Adam Schiff in California’s Senate race over the past several months, according to new campaign finance data. Garvey celebrated the fundraising report in a statement to Newsweek.

Schiff, a Democrat, and the former baseball star Garvey are set to face off in November in the Golden State’s election to fill the seat of late Senator Dianne Feinstein. Schiff is viewed as the front-runner in the deeply Democratic state where Republicans have struggled in statewide races. But finance data from April through June shows Schiff’s fundraising lagging behind Garvey’s.

chiff’s latest fundraising report reveals that he raised about $4.2 million between May and June, while Garvey’s showed that he raised about $5.4 million in the same time period, according to the reports filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Despite the strong fundraising quarter, it remains to be seen whether Garvey can make the race competitive, as Schiff holds a strong polling lead and has outraised him in previous months.

Schiff still has more cash on hand. According to the filings, he has about $6.4 million on hand compared to Garvey’s 3.3 million.

“Californians are tired of the status quo,” Garvey told Newsweek. “They are tired of the division, they are tired of Washington, D.C., not working together, they are tired of Adam Schiff representing his party bosses rather than them, and now they are speaking up with their checkbooks.”

This news comes as Adam Schiff is calling for Joe Biden to drop out.

Maybe he should take his own advice?
