Adam Schiff will be sworn into the Senate on Monday as California ’s newest senator.

Schiff says he won’t shy away from familiar territory — opposing Trump when he feels it necessary.

But he hopes to be known for bipartisanship, as well, after campaigning in Republican areas of his state.

Schiff was censured by House Republicans last year for his involvement in investigations into Trump 's ties to Russia .

Schiff is unlikely to go after his colleagues in the Senate , which he says “is a very different place culturally than the House ” He’s already tried to make inroads with Republicans , including incoming Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana .

He could possibly win some grudging respect from more veteran Senate Republicans , some of whom praised him during impeachment trial.
