Rep. Adam Schiff withdrew himself from consideration to join the House’s progressive caucus after his application became divisive among the group’s members.
Rep. Adam Schiff’s effort to bolster his progressive credentials in preparation for his statewide bid for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s U.S. Senate seat has hit some resistance on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal , chair of the CPC, said the timing of the application — as he begins his campaign for Senate against two other members of the group, Reps. Katie Porter of Irvine and Barbara Lee of Oakland — became an issue. He is a member of the New Democrat Coalition, which touts economic growth and fiscal responsibility. Several members of Congress are aligned with both the New Democrat Coalition and the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Lee is a member of the CPC’s executive board. Three other Californians in the group’s leadership, Reps. Mark Takano of Riverside, Jared Huffman of San Rafael and Jimmy Gomez of Los Angeles, have endorsed Schiff.
