A new era of the House Intelligence Committee may be dawning on Congress with the removal of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the retirement of former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA).
With both congressmen removed from the helm, many members of the House are hoping for less polarization and more unification. Rep. Mike Gallagher believes that the House Intel's new chairman, Rep. Michael Turner , is already working to improve relations on both sides, according to the Hill.“That’s the goal,” Gallagher said. “I think we’ve got really good, thoughtful members. We’ve got the right leadership in Turner. And we’re trying to get back to that more bipartisan approach.
Schiff, along with Rep. Eric Swalwell , was removed from the House Intelligence Committee on Jan. 24 by Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Nunes had retired from Congress in January 2022 to take charge of Trump Media & Technology Group, former President Donald Trump's social media company. Members that Republicans have appointed to the committee include Reps. Dan Crenshaw , Michael Waltz and French Hill . Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has not yet announced who he will appoint to the committee, though Gallagher hopes he will look at the Republican appointees and respond with candidates that are"solutions-oriented types.
On Thursday, Schiff announced he would run for Senate in 2024 for the Democratic primary seat that Sen. Dianne Feinstein currently holds. Feinstein has said she will announce whether she will run for reelection"in a couple of months."
