Episode notes

The analysis delves into Congressman Adam Schiff as one of the primary candidates in the California Senate race. Schiff, a long-time congressman representing LA, became an eminent figure during the first Trump impeachment, positioning himself as a face of resistance against the former president. Though not the flashiest candidate, Schiff's national profile has garnered significant funding, making him a frontrunner in the race.

Super Tuesday is the biggest day of the presidential primary campaign, but the biggest race in the biggest state isn’t about Biden or Trump. Instead, the leading candidates for California’s open Senate seat — three Democrats and a Republican — are finding themselves talking a lot about Israel, Palestine, and the war in Gaza.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and guest-hosted by Alana Casanova Burgess.
