Los Angeles Times: “The censure was a victory for Donald Trump, who had called for primary challenges to any Republicans who voted against it, and an indication of the former president’s continued hold on the GOP.”
“But Schiff, a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by Dianne Feinstein, who is retiring, didn’t fight particularly hard against the effort to formally chastise him.
He told The Times he initiated no conversations with Republicans in the last week to sway their votes; he’s called the censure a ‘badge of honor’ and has already begun using the free publicity to fuel his Senate campaign.”
