In his speech, Schiff sharply criticized the moral trajectory of the Republican Party, implying a shift from its former stance as the ‘marginal majority’ to what he termed the “immoral majority” in its quest to reinstate Trump.
“The party, formally of the moral majority, is now I suppose trying to fashion some kind of immoral majority to reinstate Donald Trump as president,” he commented during his address.

Schiff also targeted his Republican counterparts for their handling of Trump’s guilt, suggesting they accept it but oppose the prosecution on procedural grounds. “My Republican colleagues don’t really contest Donald Trump’s guilt,” Schiff argued. “This is the fascinating thing. Their argument is essentially he should never have been prosecuted. Or they falsely claim it was a political prosecution. Or they falsely and erroneously claim it should have been a misdemeanor not a felony. But they don’t contest, not really, that Donald Trump was making hush money payments to a porn star to hide their affair from voters.”
His comments extended to an outright condemnation of the Republican Party’s current ethics, hinting at a willingness among its members to support Trump despite the allegations. “What they’re really saying is they’re more than comfortable electing, nominating, and electing as the President of the United States someone making hush money payments to a porn star. The party formerly of the moral majority is now, I suppose, hoping to fashion some kind of immoral majority to reinstate Donald Trump as President,” Schiff added.

These remarks come during a particularly tense period in U.S. politics, just two weeks following Trump’s conviction and in the lead-up to his sentencing scheduled for July 11. The atmosphere is increasingly polarized, with both supporters and detractors of Trump vocal in their stances.
Moreover, Schiff’s strong position appears to resonate with voters in California. As the November elections draw near, he has established a significant lead over his Republican opponent, Steve Garvey, in the race for California’s U.S. Senate seat. Recent polling data indicates Schiff commanding 62% of likely voters’ support versus Garvey’s 37%, a clear indicator of the strong Democratic preference in the state.
