Leftwing activists hit Rep. Adam Schiff as soon as he announced his run for a Senate seat in California, arguing that he was too weak against former President Donald Trump and challenging the status quo of the Democratic Party.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which endorsed Rep. Katie Porter when she announced her bid, said Mr. Schiff slow-walked tackling the Trump administration and has not sought to fight corporations and the Democratic establishment.
“Adam Schiff plays the role of Trump antagonist on TV, but a recent book details how he stalled and undermined leaders trying to hold Trump accountable in Congress — and he never challenges corporations or the Democratic establishment,” said Adam Green, co-founder of PCCC.
