Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), weeks away from likely being elected senator, is giving a boost to House and Senate Democratic candidates across California and the country in the final stretch before Election Day.
Schiff will be heading to several competitive House districts across southern California this month and help his party’s Senate candidates in Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin, according to a person familiar with his travel plans. Schiff’s own Senate race isn’t competitive.
Schiff will appear with Rep. Ruben Gallego (D) in Arizona, who is running against GOP challenger Kari Lake for the open Senate seat, and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D), who is seeking a third term in Wisconsin. In Nevada, Schiff will stump for Sen. Jacky Rosen (D) and frontline Rep. Susie Lee (D.).
The high-profile Democrat will also campaign for Democratic House candidates Derek Tran, Dave Min, Rudy Salas and George Whitesides in California during the coming weeks. And he’ll stump for Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.), who is facing a tough race against GOP challenger Matt Gunderson.
California’s House races are among the most closely watched in the battle for the House. Democrats are hoping to oust a handful of vulnerable Republicans to help them take back the chamber.
