U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who is running for the Senate, warned donors in a private meeting on Saturday, July 16, that the Democratic Party is likely to suffer major losses if President Biden remains their presidential candidate. Schiff, speaking at a fundraiser in the Hamptons, expressed concerns that Democrats would lose the presidency, the Senate, and fail to regain control of the House. He emphasized that if Biden stays in the race, the party faces a potential 'wipeout.' This warning, including the quote 'If he is our nominee, I think we lose,' was reported by the New York Times.
