GOP opponent criticizes Schiff for endorsing ‘criminal culture’ in California.
Republican Opponent Slams Rep. Adam Schiff for Supporting “Criminal Culture” in California
One of Rep. Adam Schiff’s Republican opponents in the 2024 California Senate race has launched a scathing attack, accusing him of endorsing a “criminal culture” in the Golden State. Eric Early, a Republican vying for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), took aim at Schiff for allegedly turning a blind eye to crime in his own Los Angeles-area congressional district.
“There is no punishment for these people who are doing the smash-and-grabs, zero,” Early expressed to Fox News. “And Adam Schiff has not said a word against it.”
“Our district attorney, who Adam Schiff supports, refuses to charge them with felony theft or burglary. So, they all know they can get away with this. And the fact that Adam Schiff has not said a word about it is further confirmation about how he supports this criminal culture out here,” Early continued.
Early also placed blame on the lack of leadership in California, with Schiff being one of the leaders he accuses of failing to address the crisis.
“There’s a complete vacuum of leadership in this entire state of California, and Adam Schiff is one of the members of the vacuum class,” Early told the outlet.
The California Senate race is anticipated to be a highly competitive contest within the Democratic Party during the 2024 cycle, with Schiff and Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) emerging as the clear front-runners. However, due to California’s primary system, only the top two candidates from the March 2024 primary, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the general election in November 2024. This means that a Republican candidate like Early may face exclusion from the general election.
Current polling indicates that two Southern California Democrats, Schiff and Porter, are likely to secure spots in the general election, but there remains a significant number of undecided voters. A July poll conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California shows Porter leading the field with 19%, followed by Schiff with 16%, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) in third place with 13%, and Early in fourth place with 6%.
