Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that it was “hard to find someone better qualified in our history to become president” than Vice President Kamala Harris. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Republicans are in full attack mode against the vice president. Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett called her a DEI hire. On Monday J.D. Vance claimed that Kamala was not grateful for this country, really trafficking in racial tropes, right, black people should be grateful for being here. Previously he’s even gone so far as to call her one of the childless cat ladies who is miserable with...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Monday said Vice President Harris has his “full support” as she runs for president, while applauding President Biden for putting the “country first” and withdrawing from the 2024 race. “I am very excited to throw my full support behind the vice president. I have seen her work as a prosecutor, as an attorney general, as a senator, as vice president,” Schiff said on NBC News’s “Today.” “I’m very excited to work with her as president. I haven’t seen this kind of excitement in the Democratic Party in quite a long time. People are really energized.”

Rep. Adam Schiff on Wednesday became the most prominent elected Democrat to publicly call on President Joe Biden to drop out the race. “While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch. And in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election,” Schiff said in a statement. This story is breaking and will be updated.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who is running for the Senate, warned donors in a private meeting that his party was likely to suffer major losses if President Joe Biden continued his reelection campaign, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing two unnamed sources. "I think if he is our nominee, I think we lose," the Times reported, citing a person with access to a transcription of a recording of the event, a Saturday fundraiser in New York. "And we may very, very well lose the Senate and lose our chance to take back the...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President Joe Biden needs to consult with people outside his inner circle to consider what is right for the country because Democrats must “beat that S.O.B.” Schiff said, “Ultimately, this is a decision President Biden will have to make and President Biden alone.” He continued, “The performance on the debate stage, I think, rightfully raised questions among the American people about whether the president has the vigor to defeat Donald Trump. This is an existential race given Joe Biden’s incredible record, given Donald Trump’s terrible record, he should...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) went on NBC's Meet the Press to say that "Trump's conviction validates the American judicial system. Here we have a person of immense wealth and privilege brought down by a jury of ordinary folks. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran for his office on a promise to put Trump behind bars. He was elected and has delivered on that promise. This is a potent warning to all the enemies of our democracy that they will pay a price for defying the power of the people voters put in office." Bragg urged Judge Juan Merchan...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that New York Judge Juan Merchan should consider former President Donald Trump’s comments about being jailed while sentencing. Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Trump said, “I think it would be tough for the public to take, you know at a certain point, there’s a breaking point.” Guest host Kasie Hunt said, “Considering that the sentencing is likely to occur, just days before the start of the convention and months before he’s to be the Republican nominee in November do you think it would be...

California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, a top client of Trump Trial Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter Loren Merchan, immediately began trying to raise money off of the guilty verdict against the former president. A Trump campaign official posted Schiff’s campaign email sent after the verdict came down Tuesday.

California Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff faced a rude welcome in San Francisco as he was reportedly a victim of a carjacking just hours before a campaign dinner. Thieves broke into his car parked in a downtown garage, stealing his bags, leaving Schiff to attend the event in shirt sleeves and a hiking vest. Despite the setback, Schiff thanked supporter Joe Cotchett at the ritzy dinner in Burlingame, where he was commended for his resilience by Cotchett

Hello to the city, goodbye to your luggage. That was Senatorial candidate Adam Schiff’s rude introduction to San Francisco’s vexing reputation for car burglaries Thursday when thieves swiped the bags from his car while it sat in a downtown parking garage. The heist meant the Democratic congressman got stuck at a fancy dinner party in his shirt sleeves and a hiking vest while everyone else sat in suits. Not quite the look the man from Burbank was aiming for as he rose to thank powerhouse attorney Joe Cotchett for his support in his bid to replace the late Dianne Feinstein...

At the end of 2019, Representative Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, was leading the first impeachment effort against President Donald Trump. After months of making accusations and conducting Congressional inquiries related to Trump’s July 2019 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—a conversation Democrats described as a “quid pro quo” attempting to trade military aid for an investigation into the Biden family’s corrupt business deals—Schiff and six other Democrats delivered articles of impeachment to the Senate in January 2020. [snip] Contrary to hand-wringing assertions that the former president and his allies are unfairly “attacking” Judge Merchan’s “child,” Loren...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that former President Donald Trump has “no appreciation” for any religious belief. Anchor John Berman said, “Donald Trump weighed in on Jews who vote for Democrats. He said, they hate their religion and should be ashamed of themselves. Donald Trump, who is not Jewish, telling Jewish people how to be Jewish, what’s your reaction to that?” Schiff said, “Well, only to someone who has no appreciation for really any religion, any religious group, or any religious belief could make a statement like that. He’s the last person in the world...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the Supreme Court did not act with “great speed” on the question of presidential immunity, they are “making a deliberate decision” to push special counsel Jack Smith 2020 election interference trial past the election. Anchor Dana Bash said, “It seems as though the Trump strategy to delay these cases is paying off. Do you think there’s a chance that he might not stand trial in any of these cases before election day?”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur during his testimony at the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, insinuating that he had a political motive against President Joe Biden by suggesting he had a poor memory. Hur, as Breitbart News reported, compiled evidence that Biden had willfully and unlawfully retained classified documents after leaving the Senate and after leaving office as Vice President. Yet he explained that the Department of Justice would not prosecute Biden — even if such a prosecution were constitutionally possible — because a jury could see Biden at trial “as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that he believed former President Donald Trump was “either stupid or crazy” for continuing to claim he does not know E. Jean Carroll. On CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Trump said, “Miss Bergdorf Goodman, a person I never — I never met, I have no idea who she is except one thing. I got sued. From that point on, I said, Wow, that’s crazy. What this is. I got charged. I was given a false accusation and had to post a $91 million bond on a false accusation.” Referencing Carroll’s lawyer, anchor Jen...

Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (CA) on Sunday echoed John Brennan and said the Intel Community will sabotage Trump by withholding intelligence and ‘dumbing down’ his daily briefings this summer. President Trump will get intel briefings after he secures the GOP nomination this summer. Schiff said Trump can’t be trusted with classified information that reveals sources and methods. “We can’t trust that he will do the right thing,” Schiff said to NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker. WATCH: WATCH: Fmr. Intel Chair @RepAdamSchiff (D-Calif.) says he hopes the intelligence community will “dumb down” Trump’s briefings once he claims the nomination....

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he hopes the intelligence community will “dumb down” former President Donald Trump’s briefings once he has the nomination. Anchor Kristen Welker said, “Let me ask you about this development. This weekend, U.S. intelligence officials are planning to provide briefings for Donald Trump. One will see if he officially secures the nomination despite the fact that he’s facing 40 felony charges for his handling of classified documents as the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee. Do you think it’s appropriate for him to receive intelligence briefings,

Concluding California’s most competitive Senate primary in a generation, Rep. Adam B. Schiff of Burbank and retired Dodgers player Steve Garvey will square off in November to represent the Golden State in Washington. After months of close campaigning, the results were definitive: The Associated Press called the race for Schiff less than half an hour after polls closed, and at about 9 p.m. for Garvey. The other Democratic challengers, Rep. Katie Porter of Irvine and Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland, were running in third and fourth place, respectively. Schiff, Porter and Lee campaigned for more than a year to replace...

Several prominent House Democrats are jostling to fend off Republican former baseball great Steve Garvey in the yearlong battle to fill the U.S. Senate seat once held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, with two slots on California’s November ballot at stake. In a state where a Republican hasn’t won a Senate race since 1988, Democrats are expected to easily hold the seat in November, a relief for the party as it seeks to defend a fragile Senate majority. But first-time candidate Garvey, a National League MVP and former star for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, reordered...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is hated by conservatives, but is running a daring and effective ad campaign in which he is targeting conservatives to encourage them to support Republican Steve Garvey in the primary above Democratic rivals. Californians go to the polls on March 5, as part of Super Tuesday. Many have already submitted their ballots by mail. Under California’s “jungle” primary, the top two finishers — of any party — in the primary automatically advance to the general election. Schiff could have a hard time against Democrats, especially female Democrats, in November.
