It's such a good thing for Schiff, it almost seems like Kevin McCarthy was helping him on purpose.
A vote to censure, though uncommon, is basically meaningless. It’s a public rebuke, but one that comes without any actual consequence. And it’s likely that the subsequent ethics investigation, which the censure vote calls for, will never get off the ground.“To my Republican colleagues, [who] introduced this resolution, I thank you.
But there may be some method to the madness: Speaker Kevin McCarthy is from California; he’s the most powerful Republican in the state. The censure measure his endorsement, and McCarthy knows full well what’s happening in his home state’s Senate contest. Republicans have an absolute zero chance of competing for the seat outright, but they could possibly push the field to the right.It’s not uncommon for the parties to play in each other’s primaries, after all. Spending to elevate unelectable, far-right candidates in Republican primaries proved to be one of Democrats’ most successful, if controversial, strategies in the 2022 congressional cycle.
And Schiff, a former member of the center-right Blue Dog caucus, is the most conservative member of the group of contenders for the sought-after seat. Despite some recent gestures at a rebrand, his track record in 11 terms in Congress is out of step with California’s devoutly progressive politics. Some state Democratic party figures also would much prefer to see a woman and/or a person of color win the role. California made history in the 1990s when it became the first state with two female senators, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein; it has been a point of pride for California Democrats ever since. Now the possibility of having Adam Schiff become a male senator alongside Alex Padilla, another male senator, has some feeling uneasy, and not just because Schiff is no friend of the left.
