Democrats claim the public is abandoning Trump.
They think they have all the momentum heading into the midterms.
But Adam Schiff made one desperate move that confirmed he's scared about 2026.
Schiff warns of "chaos and killing in American streets by ICE agents"
Adam Schiff went on ABC's This Week and delivered one of his most unhinged performances yet.
The California Senator claimed there's "chaos and killing in American streets by ICE agents" and warned that "the public has turned against" Trump "in every election we've had since his election."
Schiff warned Republicans "now expect they'll get a real drubbing in the midterms" and claimed Trump is "prepared to try to take some kind of action to overturn the result."
When Karl asked about voter ID — supported by 83% of Americans including 71% of Democrats according to a Pew Research poll — Schiff called it "another way to simply try to suppress the vote."
Here's what Schiff conveniently left out — 83% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote, including 71% of Democrats, according to a Pew Research poll from August 2025.
Schiff spent years peddling the Russia collusion hoax and lying about Trump's first impeachment.
Now he's laying the groundwork to blame a disappointing election for Democrats on bogus voter suppression claims before a single ballot is cast.
Three polls obliterate Democrats' Minnesota narrative
Democrats banked everything on their resistance theater in Minnesota turning the public against Trump's deportation agenda.
They thought the ICE shootings in Minneapolis would finally give them the ammunition to defund immigration enforcement and ride that wave to victory in November.
But three new polls just shattered that fantasy.
A Harvard/Harris poll found 52% of Americans support deporting all illegal aliens.
A Marquette Law School poll showed 56% of Americans back deporting illegal aliens.
And a Cygnal poll revealed 61% of Americans support deportations — nearly a 2-to-1 margin.
That Cygnal poll also found something Democrats really don't want to talk about.
Their 4-point lead in the generic congressional ballot completely evaporates if they move to "defund ICE" and turns into a 2-point Republican advantage if they shut down the government over ICE funding.
"Voters see illegal immigration as a simple question of law and order," Cygnal CEO Brent Buchanan said in a statement.
Democrats trapped by their own resistance theater
Schiff and his fellow Democrats spent months encouraging violence against ICE agents and celebrating Minnesota's "ICE-free zones."
They cheered as rioters attacked federal law enforcement officers across the country.
Now they're watching their strategy backfire in spectacular fashion.
The Minnesota chaos Democrats thought would turn voters against Trump instead exposed their radical agenda for what it is — pro-criminal and anti-law enforcement.
Here's the political reality Democrats refuse to face: the more they attack ICE and defend illegal aliens, the more voters swing toward Republicans.
Democrats and their media allies turned up the fear mongering to 10 over Minnesota and failed spectacularly.
Schiff knows this, which is why he's already making excuses about Trump "subverting" elections.
When you're losing on the issues, blame voter suppression and claim elections are rigged.
It's the classic Democrat playbook when they see defeat coming.
The public isn't abandoning Trump's immigration enforcement — they're abandoning Democrats who stand with criminals over law-abiding Americans.
And Adam Schiff's desperate warnings prove he knows exactly what's coming in November.
