Some Democrats see him as the natural heir to 86-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein; others say the 19-year Southern California congressman is a House guy through and through and could one day run to succeed fellow California lawmaker Nancy Pelosi, his close ally, as Speaker. One of his House colleagues from the Golden State said she saw a president in the making as Schiff led the televised hearings these past two weeks.
“When we look at the characteristics of what we want to see in a president, it is somebody who is not going to lose composure because he’s been poked. And we’re seeing that on display from Adam Schiff every single day,” said the California Democratic lawmaker. “He’s not too vanilla. But I kind of want that now after Trump. We need boring; boring is good.”
