Adam Schiff Resigns Effective Dec. 8 to Begin Senate Career Early, Andy Kim Also Steps Down

Dec 6, 2024, 04:42 PM

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) has announced his resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives, effective December 8, 2024. This move allows Schiff to begin his Senate career early, succeeding an appointed U.S. Senator and gaining seniority over other members of the Senate class of 2024. Schiff, who previously served on the House January 6 Select Committee, will transition to the Senate to represent California. His resignation aligns with a similar move by Representative Andy Kim (D-NJ), who also resigned effective December 8 after winning a Senate seat in the upcoming Congress. Schiff's early Senate start positions him advantageously within the new Senate class.
