California primary results: Schiff projected to face Garvey over Porter, Lee for Senate seat
At the presidential level, Biden and Trump are projected to win.
ABC News projects that former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden will win their respective primaries in California on Tuesday, based on analysis of the exit poll.
The race for the Senate seat to succeed Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who died last fall, is also shaping up this Super Tuesday.
ABC News projects that Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey, a former Major League Baseball player, will advance to the general election in November over Democratic Reps. Barbara Lee and Katie Porter.
Polls closed at 8 p.m. PST on Tuesday.
All active registered voters in the country's largest state received a vote-by-mail ballot, which must have been postmarked by Election Day and received by March 12.
State significance
California has the largest amount of delegates up for grabs in a primary contest this year, which means it will be a big boost for the winning candidates.
For Republicans, 169 delegates are up for grabs. There is the potential for a "winner takes all" scenario, under rule changes by the California GOP, where a candidate will be awarded all delegates if they secure a majority of the statewide vote. If no candidate reaches that threshold, delegates will be awarded proportionally.
Polls have shown Trump clearly leading the GOP field in California, according to 538's average.
Trump faced an effort to remove him from the state's GOP primary ballot under the 14th Amendment, because of Jan. 6, but he was kept on by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, a Democrat. The U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that states can't disqualify candidates this way.
In the general election, California is a Democratic stronghold. A Republican hasn't won the state's Electoral College votes since 1988.
Biden won the state by nearly 30 points in 2020 and was expected to win his primary on Tuesday.
