Senator-elect Schiff vows to protect democracy without naming Trump
PoliticoSchiff easily defeated his Republican opponent, former baseball star Steve Garvey — a victory that was so anticipated that the Burbank Democrat spent much of the general election campaigning and raising money for out-of-state Senate Democrats in an effort to cozy up to his future colleagues. In his speech, Schiff acknowledged Garvey, his opponent, and said that he joined the baseball icon in celebrating the Dodgers’ World Series victory. Schiff said that, as senator, he is “committed to taking on the big fights to protect our freedoms and protect our democracy.” “California will continue to be at the forefront of progress, the fulcrum of democracy, the champion of innovation and the protector of our rights and freedoms,” he said. He also echoed other California Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, who have acknowledged the state’s housing affordability crisis.
