the top two vote-getters in the primary will be on the November 2024 ballot, regardless of party. The result may be superficially the same, but there's always a chance that Schiff and Porter will split the Democratic vote and allow a Republican (or other) to get on the general ballot.

Plus, there will be two senate races on next year's ballot - one to fill the remainder of Feinstein's term (that's the seat Butler holds now) and one for the full 6 year term.
