    “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November,” he continued.

    Oh man…

    Adam Schiff better be ready for a bunch of social media accounts to tell him how he doesn’t know anything about politics…

    To me, this strongly telegraphs where Pelosi is at privately. No way Schiff made this statement without consulting her. Schiff is her boy.

      Maybe he’s looking at that AP-NORC poll?

        Doubtful. The Schiff is not swayed by faulty numbers mongering.

    For non-US people like me, confused by the title:

    The “Rep.” mean Representative in this case, not Republican

      If the news source does it right then Rep before the name means representative Rep after the name means republican

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Adam Schiff on Wednesday became the most prominent elected Democrat to publicly call on President Joe Biden to drop out of the race.

    The announcement by Schiff, who is running for US Senate in California, makes him the first Democrat to urge Biden to step aside since the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend.

    “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.

    Schiff praised Biden’s legacy in his statement but added, “our nation is at a crossroads.”

    “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November,” he continued.
