To hype his potential candidacy, Schiff has\u00a0touted the millions of campaign funds he has raised. Schiff has also recently attended the New Democrats\u2019 retreat, which raised eyebrows among \u201cseveral insiders [who] took particular notice\u201d of his presence.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11662912\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1178586441.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11662912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1178586441.png\" alt=\"Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) answers questions with House Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rep.

He has been consistently wrong on many foreign policy issues. He was most famously a strong advocate of the Russia, Russia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/03\/22\/top-10-propagandists-who-pushed-russia-collusion-hoax\/\">Russia hoax<\/a>.\u00a0Schiff argued for months that the evidence against President Donald Trump was \u201chiding in plain sight.\u201d He has also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2018\/02\/06\/schiff-fundraises-russia-probe-claims-breitbart-news-attacks\/\">fundraised<\/a>\u00a0off of the hoax.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>It may not be a surprise that Schiff is a close confidant of Pelosi. Both Schiff and Pelosi are from California. In 2018, the\u00a0<em>Los Angeles Times<\/em>\u00a0<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/midterm-election\/2018\/10\/19\/l-a-times-nancy-pelosi-has-been-grooming-adam-schiff-as-possible-successor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that Pelosi \u201chas quietly been grooming potential successors, among them Rep. Adam Schiff.\u201d But other Democrats have also been eyeing Pelosi\u2019s position. Among those are Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Steny Hoyer, the majority leader of the House.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff may decide not to run for speaker of the House because of his foreign policy track record. Punchbowl noted several Democrats \u201calso wondered if Schiff really wants to stay in the House or if it\u2019s just a stepping stone to bigger ambitions \u2013 such as running for Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we were told that the House seems more appealing at this moment for Schiff than the Senate,\u201d the\u00a0outlet\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>For Schiff to become speaker, Democrats would have to keep the majority after the November midterms. Pelosi, the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/29\/poll-nancy-pelosi-most-unpopular-democrat-politician\/\">unpopular<\/a> congressional Democrat, would also need to retire,\u00a0a move Pelosi insists will not occur.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gettr.com\/user\/wendellhusebo\">Gettr<\/a>\u00a0@WendellHuseb\u00f8.
