Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) criticized the Democratic Party for its lack of a unified response to former President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address
In an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl, Adam Schiff criticized Democrats for missing a chance to challenge Trump on rising living costs, urging a stronger focus on economic relief and clearer messaging. He dismissed James Carville’s call to “play dead” and pushed for bold policies instead. Sen. John Fetterman called the Democratic response a “sad cavalcade of self-owns,” while chaotic protests during Trump’s speech, including Rep. Al Green’s removal for shouting, drew criticism. Schiff warned these scattered actions could hurt the party’s image before the next election.
