Barbara Lee, a Democratic Rep. running for the Senate in 2024, prematurely claimed to have won the California Democratic Party’s endorsement, despite not receiving the necessary votes.
She released a press statement after winning a narrow plurality, but later corrected it.
“BARBARA LEE EARNS CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY ENDORSEMENT,” Lee’s campaign wrote.
The team later changed it to read, “Barbara Lee triumphs in California Democratic Party endorsement vote.”
“From day one, this campaign has been focused on delivering the progressive agenda that working people in California deserve: a Green New Deal, single-payer healthcare, and economic, racial, social and environmental justice for all,” Lee wrote.
Lee, Adam Schiff, and Katie Porter are in a three-way race for the Senate seat.
Lee’s strong performance at the endorsing convention has been attributed to her left-wing political positions, resonating with party activists.
The primary election will be held on March 5, 2024, with the top two candidates advancing to the general election, regardless of party affiliation.
