Nancy Pelosi backs Adam Schiff’s bid for Dianne Feinstein’s Senate seat

LA Times  

Rep. Adam Schiff, shown Jan. 12, received the backing of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and several other Californians in his bid for a Senate seat next year. Democratic stalwart and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed Rep. Adam B. Schiff’s bid for the U.S. Senate on Thursday, as long as incumbent Dianne Feinstein doesn’t seek reelection. “If she decides not to run, I will be supporting House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, who knows well the nexus between a strong Democracy and a strong economy,” Pelosi, of San Francisco, said in a statement. “Together, we’ve played an outsized role within the U.S. Congress in protecting our democracy and supporting working families, and I’m excited to continue that work as their partner in expanding healthcare, combating the climate crisis, and addressing homelessness.” Thad Kousser, a political science professor at UC San Diego, said the endorsements are an early show of force and may be particularly effective since all of the major candidates or potential candidates all serve together in the House.
