Democrat Adam Schiff, the California congressman who led Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, has won his campaign for US Senate, a powerful position he is expected to hold for decades.

In the primary this March, Schiff had already defeated two more progressive Democratic challengers, congresswomen Barbara Lee, who represented Oakland, and Katie Porter, who represented a swing district in right-leaning Orange county.
