Description
Deep blue California is shaping up to have one of the most consequential
and hard-fought Senate races of the 2024 cycle — and that’s before the
general election takes shape. A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll finds
that Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat of Burbank, is in the driver’s seat,
with a wide lead heading into election year. But in the race for second
place, two prominent Democrats — Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee —
are in a statistical dead heat with Republican Steve Garvey of L.A.
Dodgers fame. Why does that matter? California political reporter
Melanie Mason joins Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels to talk it
through.

On Thursday night, at 8:38 p.m., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took to the House floor with a speech designed to delay Democrats’ passage of the Build Back Better package. This morning, at 5:10 a.m., some 8 hours and 32 minutes later, he finally stopped talking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
