On tuesday. The results are coming in from the president ial race to the top two vote getters in the race to fill the open, u. S. Senate seat right here in california. I want this u. S. Senatorc jo, and i want to do the job for you because you deserve it, because youre a great california. You helped us build the biggest Grassroots Campaign for senate in california history, and i cannot thank you enough. It is official. Congressman adam schiff will advance to the general election against political newcomer steve garvey in the race to fill the senate seat once held by the late Dianne Feinstein. Good evening everyone. Im mike mibach and im julie julie haener. Lets get right to the latest numbers newsroom tonight. Right now, as you can see, democrat adam schiff has 36e of the vote, while republican steve garvey has 29 of the vote. They are the top two vote getters, congresswoman barbara lee have m coverage of the California Senate race. Ktvu Cristina Rendon is standing by live in oakland, where representative tonight. But first we go to our Jana Katsuyama janet garvey and schiff both celebrating a big win tonight. Yes, you can see by the numbers that they reallyc pulled out ahead of the other two main candidates. Butualthough tonight is a primary, some people saw republican as paving an easier h for schiff instead of forcing him to battle another democrat. In november, both garvey and schiff spoke this past hour as well as porter, and there were actually some protests, as youll hear, interrupting, schiff. I congratulate congressman schiff for joining me in the general election. Speaking on Election Night just after the polls closed, former l. A. Dodgers baseball player steve garvey pitched his come from behind campaign as a win for moderate california republicans. Well, we feel good about double header, the second game a is going to be daunting. Itll be almost like a super bowl over eight innings, but i think it should be exciting. But with results still coming in, and in a state where republicans havent wonua senate seat since 1988, and democrats outnumber republicans 2 to 1, a runoff between garvey and democrat adam schiff seems more likely to clinch the seat for schiff. In november, schiff spoke from his Campaign Party in Southern California after polls closed. It looks like were going to the general ladies and gentlemen, my great gratitude to all of my wonderful supporters. I want to acknowledge the right of our protest ers, and i look forward to working with you all and onward to victory. In november, schiff cast his vote in burbank. Earlier in the day, the Southern California congressman with bay area roots in danville and Stanford University continued campaigning on election day, meeting Business Owners in downtown las Grand Central market. His sights set on november with strong endorsements by speaker emerita nancy pelosi, labor unions and the l. A. Times. He had this to say tuesday. I really think californians are looking for someone in the senate that can take on the big fights when its necessary, but knows also how to deliver, how to bring back resources to california. His closest democratic competitor, congresswoman katie porter, who voted over the weekend in irvine, cast her one that didnt take money from pacs and was endorsed by senator Elizabeth Warren and the San Francisco chronicle. We know that tonight we will come up short. Let me also say this our opponents threw everything, every trick millions of dollars, every trick in the playbook to knock us off our feet. But im Still Standing in that was porter earlier tonight at her campaign, had said that she plans to still hold a meeting tomorrow with members of the United Auto Workers union, which endorsed her campaign. It will be interesting to see mike and julie where she comes out on this race tomorrow by the light of day. Thank you for that. Now to ktvu Cristina Rendon in oakland tonight. And christina, barbara lee, shes already left the bay area. She has shes already boarded a plane back to washington, d. C. She says she still has her job to do, and she wants to make sure that Congress Works to keep the government still open and working. This, though, where were at is a joint Election Night watch party that was organized by lee and Lateefah Simon campaigns for her seat, her successor that she believes will actually happen, which is Lateefah Simon, a bart board of directors behind us. Shes been taking pictures with people. It is very loud in here, but regardless of the fact that barbara lee is already not conceding in this race. She said that her campaign has ran a phenomenal multiracial, progressive campaign, and she will wait and watch the votes in spthe coming days. Barbara lee, east bay congresswoman barbara lee standing alongsideuthe leading candidate to be her of directors, Lateefah Simon. Rd im going to pass this baton to you that ron dellums passed to me. Lee is vacating her seat in congress to run for the late senator Dianne Feinsteins seat. She thanked volunteers and voters amid the more money. When you look at 30 some Million Dollars, when you look at 20 some Million Dollars by my opponents, its like, come on, what do you think that is . I mean, i dont take corporate pac money. You could see the disparity in the money. I mean, come on, money doesnt go to a black progressive woman. But we have people and we have low donors. We have recurring donors for the past 26 years as congresswoman spfor the 12th district, shes held tough representing oakland in the east bay. She was the lone vote opposing the invasion of afghanistan in r001. Shes fought for reproductive rights more recently, she was among the first to call for a permanent cease fire between israel and hamas. Her backers include celebrities, bay area politicians and grassroots organizations. People understand that i see them, i hear them that i want to make their lives better, lee said. Shell be watching the votes in the coming days and also looking to the future in simon, who was once her student. When lee taught at mills college. Fill your shoes in congress. E t you were my professor, but youve been moreuthan that to me. We hold this baton so sacred. Barbara lee speaks. And Lateefah Simon has tonight. At after 9 00 here on stage at this Election Night watch party. Full of enthusiasm. Im sure youll be hearing from her a little bit later in our newscast. Now, as for lee, she is still very optimistic. Again, not conceding. And as she heads back to washington and says wore also did not want to talk about her future. I asked her, regardless of the outcome tonight, what are her plans next for the future . And she did tha mike. n all right. Cristina rendon cristina. Thank you for that. Barbara lee, her congressional seat indeed. Now up for grabs. Lee endorsed Lateefah Simon prea mentioned, simon is a bart board trans 18. Jennifer tranl a Cal State University east bay professor. We heard from Lateefah Simon just a short time ago. We know that theres no one trick pony to public safety. It is about jobs, say jobs. Its about good health care, say health care. Health care is about people in communities taking care of each other. Lateefah simon again heavily favored to move on to november. But that race still has yet all right now to the race for the white house, where biden ant donald trump have both secured a and lets take a look at the republican primary results. Donald trump with 75 of the vote tonight. Nikki haley with 21. Also, lets give you a look at how President Biden is can ss secured 90 of those votes. A 2020 rematch appears to be inching closer. It sure does. Nationwide, voters in 15 states, plus the territory of american samoa, cast ballots this super tuesday for both the democratic and republican parties. About a third of all delegates are at stake tonight in the president ial race. It was a big night foruPresident Biden and former President Trump, as again, they marched toward a rematch. Now of 20r0. Mr. Biden now has an estimated 593 delegates, with many more to be allocated from tonightn he needs 1968 to become the presumptive nominee. So far, mr. Trump has an estimated 751 delegates, 1215 are needed touclinch the republican nomination. For a look at tonights major takeaways at the top of the ticket, wet political reporter, greg lee. Greg, the focus now shifting toward the general election. Julie, it certainly isc trump and biden dominating the contest tonight and honing in on each other. As polls closed around the country. Bothumen fell just short of a sweep of super tuesday, but certainly stage fo. Nikki haley had vowed to at lear tuesday. She defeated mr. Trump in vermont, a stateuwith an open primary where independents could vote. She narrowlyuwon. You can see about 98 of the vote in winning 50 to 46. Many believed utah might also be a state where haley could do well. She rallied in the state leading up to caucuses. Numbers are still coming in at this hour, trump leading haley 66 to 33, but tonight belonged to the former president. In addition to the big prize of california, he locked in texas, the second delegate rich state on the map today. He rolled to victory there 78 to 17. Theuborder and immigration key issues in that state and will be in the general. Mr. Trump watched the lago estate in florida, and itt changed from his previous victory speeches. He did not single out haleyc or call for hr to drop out. He didnt even mention her by name. The former president instead called for unity in the party. Trump will bounce between the campaign trail and the courtroom as he faces 91ufelony counts. Tonight, he centered his attacks on President Biden as he turned the page. There has never been anything so conclusive an amazing night,n amazing day. Its been an incredible period of time in our countrys history. Its been sad in so many ways, but i think its going to be inspiring to d something that, frankly, nobody has been able to do for a long time. November 5th is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country. President joe biden also focused on november, releasing a statement saying in part, tonights results leave the American People with a clear choice. Are we going to keep moving forward, or will donald trump to drag us backwards into the Chaos Division and darkness that defined his time in office . While biden cruised through tonights primaries, only falling short in american samoa, an effort that started in michigan carried over intoua few states, most notably in minnesota. Voters choosing uncommitted instead of the president , a protest vote over his handling of israel and gaza. We saw voters in a handful of other states taking this step to get his attention. Now back to the republicans. Haley did not give public remarks tonight. She watched the returns from South Carolina with her staff,uher campaign releasing a statement saying in part, there remains a large block of republican primary voters who are expressing deep concernsuabout donald trump. Heres what she said this morning about the calls to drop out of the race. I dont know why everybody is so adamant that they have to follow trumps lead to get me out of this race. uyou know, all of these people deserve to vote. 16 states want to have their voices heard. Letsuletutheir voices get heard. I think thats its as it gets. Thats where democracy we dont anoint kings in america. We let people have choices. Again. Haley, still in the race tonight. The next major date on the republican primary calendar, march 12th. Four contest. Trumps campaign believes he can clinch the nomination on that day. All right, well talk about the future in a little bit. Dont go far. Weve got more questions for you, but i want to get to proposition one real quick. It is the only statewide proposition on todays ballot. Prop one would allow the state to borrow 6. 4 billion to use to build Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatmentt facilities. It would also build Supportive Housing for thet homeless, taking a look at the results right now, 53 of the vote with yes, 47 say no. The opponents question the constitution, rationality of this measure, as well as its cost. This does have the support, though, from governor newsom. We will keep an eye on this proposition one race throughout the evening. All right. For more insight now, were joined by ktvu political analystuhere. Once ag, brian, race to fill the late senator Dianne Feinstein seat, adam schiff, steve garvey going head to head in garvey have a c . Well, to be honest, not really. The registration numbers in california 2 to 1 dems and the money that adam schiff will be able to tap into knowing that hes got that kind of advantagea very High Mountain to climb. Attorney general race in 2010, and Kamala Harris and steve cooley in a very tight race for that statewide position, 46 to 45. Knowing that that theres a chance, will the Republican Party start to dump money into this . Garvey campaign, and the party will certainly get behindf wanted. He spent 25 million on ads elevating the profile of steve garvey because he believed he would have an easier route facing him as a republican than katie porter, a democrat who was there. So this is exactly how the schiff campaign had drawn it up. But you have to wonder there will be some momentum here for steve garvey as the party looks touget behind him, likely, and then see what he does. But again, as brian said, it is a steep hill to climb for any republican in this state. Sp well, and one more thing to remember is that adam schiff has porter and barbara lee and say, hey, you know, yeah, it was a strategy that i know you didnt agree with, but it will deliver a democrat seat. And i did what i needed to do. Theres going to be some upset people in both those camps, but itll work itself out. Weudid learn tonight. Californians want what type of liberaluin this seat. Yeah. Progressive or not, progressives left out ofuthis race as well as women. Right, brian . I mean, thisuis the first time that since 1992 that california will not have a woman senator in a very long time. So thats part of this as well. Okay. Lets turn to the president ial race. Not a lot of suspense as to who the nominees, presumptive nominees are going to be. President biden versus former president donaldutrump, t about the president ial campaigns . What are the Key Takeaways from this top of the ticket race . Well, for joe biden i think s this thing that was reported on around uncommitted, votes and voters, thats an interesting thing to watch, because that is a quasi protest vote. Or people who say, i cannot vote for the president for donald trump. I think hec is going to go soon to the haley camp and say, we actually need you and we need your supporters because we have a contest against an incumbent. And if we dont have you, we may not win this. Nikki haley voters, are they gettable at this point . I dont think you look at some of the vote. Oh go to joe n certainly wont go to trump. ubur as joe biden as a protest to donald trump. But you know, certainly the republicansuare going to be looking at those independents and those haley. Ae biden has to look at younger voters, especially those the haf israel. Hamas. Well and we know that anecdotally, there are a lot of haley supporters who mayc just sit the thing out. They just cannot find themselves a place where they can vote for donald trump or joe biden. When we look down the biggesi want to ask both of you the same question. The biggest challenge facing President Biden, former President Trump, is itc all the legal problems for President Joe Biden . I think youve yes. Yeah. The answer is yes. Joe biden ist eventually going to have to come out andustart doing interviews. Hes going to have to debate. Hes going an active candidate. Donald trump, whether he can do this or not, is going to have to tone down the rhetoric that were very familiar with and begin to run a president ial campaign. Joe biden has a state of the Union Address very important for two nights. Big deal. Absolutely. Be a launch in the general election. And i think beyond those factors as well, is the general apathy from people who dont want tousee this rematch that were headed want this rematch, but theyre o get. All right, soumuch to cover. It was great having both of your thoughts tonight. I think were going to have a little bit more with you coming up later, brian. Thank you. Absolutely, absolutely. Well, our election coverage continues coming up after the for you coming from sane report francisco, where some controversial measures are ont the ballot. A look at the latest numbers coming up. Also a very big night in sili co determining the fate of seven different measures. One of the most contentious is measure e. It would give expanded powers to San Francisco police, including officer chases. The measure would also reduce the powers of the Citizen Police oversight commission. It needs more than 50 of the vote to pass. Heres a look right now at the latest numbers for measure e. As you can see right
