With few policy differences among them, the top Democratic candidates running for retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein's seat are leaning on history and biography as they woo voters.
— the sole prominent Republican in the race — won the backing of 18% of likely voters. The three Democrats divided support among a greater pool of likely voters, with Porter at 17%, Schiff at 14% and Lee at 9%. Oprah Winfrey’s spokeswoman on Thursday threw cold water on the idea that Winfrey could be appointed to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein, should she retire, saying she “is not considering the seat should it become vacant.
Still, the candidates were top attractions at the gathering as they skittered around the hallways, trailed by chanting and sign-waving supporters; visited caucus groups to make their case; and hosted parties and meet-and-greets. “And you ran that orange-haired SOB out of town,” he said, before mentioning former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has endorsed his bid.
“We need to shake up Washington,” Porter said. “There is no doubt that Washington caters to the desires of billionaires and corporate special interests while leaving our families behind.”“I am not afraid to shake up the status quo and do things differently,” Porter said, adding that she has never taken donations from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists and executives who work in “Big Oil, big banks or Big Pharma.
Lee is viewed as an underdog in the race, in part because she doesn’t have the fundraising record of Schiff or Porter. But she and her supporters reject that assumption because of her long, consistent history. Schiff, while best known for his work on the Trump impeachments, said climate concerns are among his top priorities, because “if we don’t save our planet, none of the other things are going to matter very much at the end of the day.”
