Adam Schiff announced on Thursday that he will be running for the U.S. Senate Seat currently held by Senator Dianne Weinstein, D.Calif.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">&#8220;Our democracy is at great risk. Because GOP leaders care more about power than anything else,&#8221; Schiff shared a tweet with a video that announced his campaign. &#8220;We\u2019re in the fight of our lives\u2014a fight I\u2019m ready to lead as California\u2019s next U.S. Senator.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In November, Schiff was reelected for a seventh term. He now represents California&#8217;s 30th Congressional District. He was a prominent lawmaker and chairman of the House Intelligence committee from 2019 to 2022. He also acted as a foil for Republicans in the first impeachment probe against President Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His campaign announcement video highlights Trump&#8217;s record in going after him, which he refers as &#8220;a&#8221; &#8220;dangerous demagogue.&#8221; Nancy Pelosi, former House Speaker, appointed Schiff to be the lead impeachment coordinator for Trump&#8217;s 2020 impeachment trial. He led seven House lawmakers that presented evidence to Senate to support Trump&#8217;s conviction on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have heavily criticised Schiff&#8217;s conduct as lead investigator for Trump&#8217;s impeachment inquiry. Kevin McCarthy, House Speaker, has stated that Schiff &#8220;openly lied to the American people&#8221; He abused his position as chairman of House Intelligence panel. In September 2019, Schiff enraged Republicans. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/schiff-parody\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grossly exaggerating<\/a> This is the content of a phone conversation in which Trump allegedly coerced Volodymyr Zilensky, Ukraine&#8217;s President, to look into his 2020 rival Joe Biden. Later, he called his summary of Trump&#8217;s telephone conversation &#8220;a&#8230;&#8221; &#8220;parody.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy, in retaliation to Schiff&#8217;s conduct removed McCarthy from the Intelligence committee of the 118th Congress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif. joined Schiff earlier this month in running for the seat.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein, at 89, has not announced her plans to run for reelection. She is the oldest senator currently serving and it is widely believed that she will announce in the next months that her intention to retire from office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>This is an ongoing story that will be updated.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p>Chris Pandolfo writes for Fox News Digital.
