SCHIFF SHOW: Senator-Elect Says 'Entire Democratic Party' Responsible for Harris Loss [WATCH]

California Senator-elect Adam Schiff stopped by Meet The Press over the weekend to discuss Kamala Harris’ landslide loss to Donald Trump. Schiff predicted Harris would win “overwhelmingly” just one month before the election.

Schiff spoke with host Kristen Welker.

“I think Joe Biden’s decision to step aside and pass the torch is the right decision. It gave us a chance to win, not a guarantee. I thought she could win. I thought she could win in all the battleground states,” Schiff said.

Schiff said President-elect Donald Trump’s victory boiled down to an “anti-incumbent wave” in the U.S. “that took out both progressives and conservatives and our party became associated with the status quo.”

“That was too much to overcome. I think the principal issue is the economy,” he argued. “And over years and decades it has gotten more and more difficult for people working full-time to make a living. And until we resolve that challenge to the economy, we may find the presidency is easier to get than it is to keep.”

“Senator-elect, do you believe that President Biden bears some responsibility for staying in too long?” Welker asked Schiff.

“Look, I think the entire Democratic Party bears the responsibility,” Schiff said.

“Myself included. And the former president…they mounted an effective campaign. You have to give them credit for that. The challenge we have is we need to put forward a bold vision of how we’re going to move the economy forward, make the economy work for every American. To me, the existential question is if you, working hard in America, can you still earn a good living and too many people doubt that that’s possible.”
