Was it Pelosi? Biden? Schiff says the entire party is at fault…
While speaking to Kristen Welker on Meet The Press over the weekend, Senator-elect Adam Schiff said that the entire Democratic Party is at fault for Kamala Harris’ landslide loss earlier this month.
Schiff said there was an “anti-incumbent” wave.
“That was too much to overcome. I think the principal issue is the economy,” he argued. “And over years and decades it has gotten more and more difficult for people working full-time to make a living. And until we resolve that challenge to the economy, we may find the presidency is easier to get than it is to keep.”
Welker pressed Schiff on whether or not Biden was to blame for staying in the race too long.
“Senator-elect, do you believe that President Biden bears some responsibility for staying in too long?” Welker pressed again.
“Look, I think the entire Democratic Party bears the responsibility,” Schiff replied
“Myself included. And the former president…they mounted an effective campaign. You have to give them credit for that. The challenge we have is we need to put forward a bold vision of how we’re going to move the economy forward, make the economy work for every American. To me, the existential question is if you, working hard in America, can you still earn a good living and too many people doubt that that’s possible.”
