In the competitive California U.S. Senate race to fill Dianne Feinstein's seat, significant developments have emerged. Fairshake, a super PAC funded by crypto billionaires including Andreessen Horowitz, Blockchain Capital, Coinbase, Ron Conway, Fred Wilson, and the Winklevoss twins, has initiated a substantial ad campaign against Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter, with spending already exceeding $2 million. This move is part of a broader strategy, with Fairshake PAC's $85 million war chest targeting Porter, indicating a potential 3-to-1 spending advantage for Adam Schiff by March 5. Porter, during a Senate debate in San Francisco, opened the discussion on implementing age limits for presidential candidates, a stance that has sparked conversations about its applicability to all elected officials. Meanwhile, Adam Schiff is strategically aiming to boost Republican Steve Garvey into the November runoff, potentially easing his path to victory in a state that leans heavily Democratic. This strategy includes significant ad buys and public criticism of Garvey, despite Schiff's considerable campaign reserves.
