Adam Schiff\u00a0expressed frustration\u00a0over the Democratic Party\u2019s lack of a \u201ccoordinated response\u201d to President Trump and wants his party to do more to combat the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the lack of a coordinated response, and frankly, it took the focus off of where it should have been, which is on the fact that the president spoke and had nothing to say about what he would do to bring down costs for American families that were watching that lengthy address, sitting at the kitchen table hoping he would offer something to help them afford a new home or pay their rent, afford health care, or afford child care,\u201d Schiff said during an interview with ABC\u2019s Jonathan Karl.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker addressed the critiques by Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, who called the Democrats\u2019 situation \u201ca sad cavalcade of self-owns and unhinged petulance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re destroying the economy, and they\u2019re making it harder and harder for Americans to afford things. That\u2019s where we need to keep the focus, that\u2019s why we lost the last election, because we weren\u2019t laser-focused on the high cost of living and what they\u2019re doing now is just making it so much worse,\u201d Schiff claimed \u2014 falsely, according to the most recent economic data.<\/p>\n<p>Karl also asked Schiff how the Democratic Party should respond to the president. The ABC News host specifically referenced Democratic strategist James Carville, who has suggested that the party should \u201cplay dead\u201d and consider a strategic political retreat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be advancing policies and making the arguments about what we have to offer, not simply standing back and letting them collapse under their own corrupt weight. To me, that\u2019s not enough. We need to effectively use litigation as we are. We need to effectively use communication to talk to new people in new ways, as we are,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div class=\"ai-delayed ai-delayed-12\" data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\" data-code=\"PGRpdiBjbGFzcz0iYWktbGF6eSIgZGF0YS1jb2RlPSJQSE5qY21sd2RDQmhjM2x1WXlCcFpEMGlRVlkyTkdKbE1qRTNZekl3WWpFMlpXTTBPV0l3TTJOallqUWlJSFI1Y0dVOUluUmxlSFF2YW1GMllYTmpjbWx3ZENJZ2MzSmpQU0pvZEhSd2N6b3ZMM1JuTVM1MmFXUmpjblZ1WTJndVkyOXRMMkZ3YVM5aFpITmxjblpsY2k5emNIUS9RVlpmVkVGSFNVUTlOalJpWlRJeE4yTXlNR0l4Tm1Wak5EbGlNRE5qWTJJMEprRldYMUJWUWt4SlUwaEZVa2xFUFRZME9EZzROVFF6WXpFeU1tRTFORFExTVRBd1pqbGtPQ0krUEM5elkzSnBjSFErIiBkYXRhLWNsYXNzPSJZMjlrWlMxaWJHOWphdz09Ij48L2Rpdj4K\" data-class=\"Y29kZS1ibG9jaw==\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A new national poll shows that most Democrats are dissatisfied with how their party\u2019s lawmakers are performing in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, 53% of Democratic respondents disapproved of congressional Democrats\u2019 job performance, while only 41% expressed approval.<\/p>\n<p>Among all voters surveyed, just 21% approved of how Democrats in Congress are handling their roles, with 70% voicing disapproval.<\/p>\n<p>The 21% approval rating matches the figure from Quinnipiac\u2019s national poll, tying \u201can all-time low since Quinnipiac University first asked this question of registered voters in March 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h1 class=\"post-title entry-title\"><button class=\"read-more-btn\">Read More<\/button><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly left a restaurant in Washington, D.C., after a woman heckled him during his meal this week.
