California votes in the Senate primary race today. Meet the candidates vying for Dianne Feinstein's seat.

Washington — Candidates are set to face off on Tuesday in California's crowded Senate race, where more than two dozen candidates are competing to represent the nation's most populous state.

The top two vote-getters in the Golden State's so-called jungle primary, in which candidates from all parties are competing for a chance at the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein's seat, will advance to the November general election.

The campaign for the seat in deep-blue California has been a long battle. Even before Feinstein said she wouldn't seek reelection, multiple candidates had already announced they would enter the race for a seat that hadn't been open for three decades. And it may be years before another opportunity, with the state's other seat being held by Sen. Alex Padilla, a 50-year-old Democrat who was nominated by Gov. Gavin Newsom to finish Vice President Kamala Harris' term and then elected to his first full term in 2022.
