Two Senate candidates, Steve Garvey and Adam Schiff, have contrasting campaigns. Schiff is running two sets of ads - one promoting his vision and the other criticizing Garvey. While Garvey is portrayed as too conservative for California. The Senate race highlights policy differences among Democratic candidates, with Katie Porter opposing earmarks due to corruption concerns, while other Democrats see earmarks as essential. Another policy divergence is regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict, with Barbara Lee and others calling for an immediate ceasefire, whereas Schiff maintains no ceasefire should be called. Porter takes a middle ground approach, focusing on hostage release, Gaza reconstruction, Israel's security, and Palestinian freedom. The candidates' stances on these issues reflect growing Democratic concerns over Israel's military actions, with some voters viewing it as a crucial factor. However, the broader electorate may not prioritize this issue when voting.
