Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a veteran lawmaker and establishment fixture now running for Senate, has joined 19 other House Democrats in publicly calling for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race. In a statement provided to the Los Angeles Times, Schiff cited doubts over Biden's ability to defeat Donald Trump in November.
The announcement, coming from a lawmaker who had gained considerable stature after leading impeachment proceedings against Trump in 2019, represents a heavy blow to Biden and a sign that the rebellion within his party, briefly contained in the wake of an assassination attempt against Trump, is far from over.
