Dianne Feinstein’s California colleague Kamala Harris may run for president. But Feinstein already has her preferred candidate in mind: Joe Biden.

The Democratic senator, fresh off reelection to a fifth term, told a pair of reporters on Thursday morning that the former vice president and Delaware senator is the ideal choice to run against President Donald Trump. This despite the fact that more than a half-dozen Senate Democrats, including Harris, are considering running for president in 2020.

“Joe was chairman of the Judiciary [Committee] when he came to this place. I’ve watched him as vice president, I’ve seen him operate, I’ve seen him perform,” Feinstein said. “He brings a level of experience and seniority which I think is really important.”

Biden has led some early polls and is considering running after passing on a run in 2016.

1. I'm with DiFi on this.

Joe is my guy as long as he's in the running. I'd like to see him and Kamala Harris as my dream team.

Of course I'm talking the primaries. In the general, I'll vote for whoever is not the named Russian asset, i.e. trumplestiltskin. I just think Biden stands a good chance of defeating the destructive orange idiot, which is my top concern.

2. I would vote for Joe and feel good about it

there are others as well, but I've got respect for a guy that still talks turkey after years in government and spent his career riding to work with all us regular slobs on the train. I think we need someone now that will roll up their shirtsleeves and give that snake-oil salesman a fat lip. Harris, Warren and Brown would all bring this to the fight. I don't care much about diplomacy right now...I want a brawler.
