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.

    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.

      That didn’t happen.

      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

      And if it was, that’s not a big deal. 👈

      And if it is, that’s not my fault.

      And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

      And if I did, you deserved it.

      Thanks for letting us know where we are in the process
