As he prepares to run for the Senate seat of Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who is known for his outspoken anti-Trump stance, is distancing himself from the investigations that he conducted during the Trump administration. Instead, he is focused on local issues in his home state. Despite this change, he still remains a prominent critic of the president.
Even though Congressman Adam Schiff is trying to change his image, he still wants people in California to remember him for standing up against Donald Trump. During a speech in Sacramento, he noted that many people in the state know him as the person who stood up against the president.

According to Congressman Adam Schiff, he wants to inform his constituents about what he's doing, but he also believes that it's his responsibility to be an "explainer" and put all of the negative information into context. This means that he believes that everyone else is dumb.
Currently, Schiff is in a tight race for the seat held by Senator Dianne Feinstein. There are three main candidates in the race: Barbara Lee, Katie Porter, and Lexi Reese. With a large number of undecided voters, the outcome of the election could still change.
Although he has the support of Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker, and a large fundraising network, Schiff has some disadvantages. One of these is that he doesn't have a lot of name recognition in certain parts of California, such as the central and northern regions. He is also known for his anti-Trump stance, and he doesn't have a lot of national exposure.
Hoping to change his image, Schiff is touting his achievements in the House, such as the establishment of an earthquake warning system, the funding of homeless initiatives in California, and the construction of mass transit. However, his claim about having the best record of getting things done is not entirely accurate.
The campaign of Schiff will be interesting to watch. Will California voters support his efforts to transform himself into a champion of local issues or will they turn against him due to his political actions? Regardless, it is clear that he will continue to prioritize his own interests.
