The Democrat is well known after a run for the Senate last year. But former Vice President Kamala Harris' decision about whether to run looms over the field.
Either you don’t understand California elections and their primary process or maybe you just missed this one. Or maybe, it’s something else…
This cynical dismissal of history is why the Democratic party struggles as hard as they do. It’s deeply damaging to their ability to actually win elections across the board. Not addressing their failures, not addressing and showing up where they failed previously, and creating the narrative structure where Democratic failures can be dismissed: if you want to keep losing, keep doing these things.
Schiff’s strategy is savvy but cynical. And it’s worked before. In 2012, when Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill was facing a tough reelection race, she started running ads before the GOP Senate primary that played up controversial US Representative Todd Akin. With an assist from McCaskill, Akin won the primary. Her scheme paid off when he infamously suggested that women who were victims of “legitimate rape” rarely get pregnant, and she easily dispatched him in November.
I mean this is just politics, Trump and his campaign boosted Bernie in 2016 and 2020 because Trump knew he could wipe the floor with him.
