On the plus side, Democrat donors can take heart in the incontrovertible fact that Adam Schiff routinely lies, both publicly and privately. However, Schiff usually employs his prevarication on behalf of Democrat messaging. He infamously declared repeatedly that he’d seen intelligence confirming Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia, only to get depantsed by Robert Mueller’s conclusion that no such evidence existed.
In this case, though, there doesn’t seem to be any upside to this messaging from Schiff to the Democrat donor base, as reported by the New York Times. It also suggests that the Dump Biden Movement may only be mostly dead:
Representative Adam B. Schiff, the California Democrat who is running for Senate, warned during a private meeting with donors on Saturday that his party was likely to suffer overwhelming losses in November if President Biden remained at the top of the ticket, according to two people with direct knowledge of Mr. Schiff’s remarks at the meeting.
If Mr. Biden remained, not only would he lose to former President Donald J. Trump, he could be enough of a drag on other Democratic candidates that the party would most likely lose the Senate and miss an opportunity to win control of the House, Mr. Schiff said at a fund-raiser in New York.
“I think if he is our nominee, I think we lose,” Mr. Schiff said during the meeting, according to a person with access to a transcription of a recording of the event.
