fame.

I can't think of any reason why Schiff who has been highly competent/respectful congress person would be trashing Biden other than he's afraid he may not win the senate seat.

Yes, Garvey is a sports legends and has that name recognition, but that doesn't mean he's gonna win. Schiff needs to get out there and campaign and show the contrast in his platform vs that of Garvey.

And for the sake of our Dem party, he needs to stop trashing Biden - I'm so tired of this shit.
