I am sad about two things here.  First, that he is challenging Katie Porter.  Yes, anyone has a right to run for an open seat, and Porter and Schiff both have that right.  But for him to declare when he knows Porter is running seems...weird.Second, and far more importantly, the Dems already have the Senate, and while there are in fact vulnerable Dem Senate seats in the coming election cycle, California's is not one of them.  Meanwhile, the Dems need to take back the House.So why would two fantastic House reps (Porter, Schiff) be foregoing House seats for a Senate seat?  Seems backward to me.
