Rep. Adam Schiff to Run for Senate

The New York Times is reporting that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA 30) is running for the US Senate seat held by Senator Dianne Feinstein.

“Representative Adam B. Schiff, the California Democrat who emerged as one of President Donald J. Trump’s chief congressional tormentors from his perch atop the House Intelligence Committee, announced on Thursday that he would seek the Senate seat long held by Dianne Feinstein.”

“I wish I could say the threat of MAGA extremists is over,” he said in a video on Twitter. “It is not. Today’s Republican Party is gutting the middle class, threatening our democracy. They aren’t going to stop. We have to stop them.”

Schiff was recently ejected from the Intelligence Committee by the newly elected Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy.
