Schiff is the latest Democrat to jump into the primary, joining fellow California Rep. Katie Porter, who announced her bid earlier this month.
Multiple sources told CNN earlier this month that Rep. Barbara Lee told her colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus during a closed-door meeting that she plans to run for the Senate as well.
California Lt. Gov Eleni Kounalakis, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, a former longtime member of Congress, are among other potential candidates. CNN previously reported that Schiff had met with Feinstein, a mentor of his, in December to tell her that he was thinking about running, in what a source familiar with the meeting said was intended to show her due respect.Feinstein said Wednesday that she'll make a decision about whether to run "probably in a couple of months," and mentioned taking time after the death of her husband.
"Oh, I think it's fine. I think people should if they want to run, run. For me, I just need a little bit more time," she said.Schiff is the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, though he was kicked off of the panel this week by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and a member of the House select committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, attack at the US Capitol.
Schiff also served as the lead House manager for former President Donald Trump's first Senate impeachment trial.
