Adam Schiff Mulls Leadership Run

June 15, 2022 at 8:14 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, will visit the districts of more than 10 Frontliners and Democratic candidates in June and July, an attempt to continue to build support for a potential leadership run and help keep seats in Democrats’ hands, Punchbowl News reports.

Schiff is “a prolific fundraiser, which is a huge plus in a party leadership race. He’s second in House Democratic fundraising, trailing only Pelosi.”
