Republicans 'cheering' for RepAdamSchiff to succeed SpeakerPelosi if she retires
House Republicans are hoping House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff will run for a leadership position amid speculation he is vying to replace Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the chamber's top Democrat if she opts to retire following the midterm elections, with GOP lawmakers arguing that the high-profile Democrat would be easier to villainize in attack ads than other possible contenders.
“Republicans are cheering for Schiff to become the Democratic minority leader. I’m already writing my fundraising emails,” he told the Washington Examiner. “I think it would just demonstrate that they haven't learned anything. I think they'd be much better off with a fresh start with a new face. … They want a new generation, so they're going from 80-year-olds to 60-year-olds, so that's a good move,” the member added with a laugh.
Rep. Guy Reschanthaler , a member of House GOP leadership, said it would be easier to hit Democratic candidates in elections by tying them to the California Democrat than other names being floated. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has made Schiff a mainstay in his attacks on Democrats, with the California Republican vowing to remove him from the House Intelligence Committee if Republicans take back the majority in the lower chamber.
