Oldest Sitting Senator Won’t Run for Reelection
Dianne Feinstein, 89, confirms the rumors
Longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein confirmed Tuesday what all of Washington already assumed—she won’t be running for reelection, reports the Los Angeles Times. “I am announcing today I will not run for reelection in 2024, but intend to accomplish as much for California as I can through the end of next year when my term ends,” the Democrat said in a statement. Feinstein has been doing almost no fundraising, and big names including Reps. Adam Schiff and Katie Porter already have announced they would be running in the Democratic primary for her seat.
At 89, Feinstein is the oldest sitting senator, notes the Hill. Reports previously surfaced that Feinstein has been suffering from memory problems that affect her ability to work as a senator, though Feinstein herself has rejected those claims. Feinstein was elected to the Senate in 1992, notes the Washington Post, having previously served as the mayor of San Francisco. The Hill reports that she received 7.8 million votes in her 2012 reelection, the most ever collected in an individual Senate election.
OH, C’MON….THIS IS GOING TO BE WEEKEND AT FEINSTEIN’S
I thought she’d never leave.
Feinstein should be in prison.
It’s dinner time, have some decency. Please wait at least until I’ve digested my dinner before posting any jokes about her seat being open.
So, its a race to see who strokes out first: feinstein, pelousy or bidepends.
You forgot Fetterman, the leader in the Stroke Pool. – bfh
Why should she retire? She can’t be any worse than Biden.
I figured she’d die in the saddle. Much, much earlier.
Yeah, a Weekend at Diane’s is what I figured would happen!
Good riddance, but unfortunately there are a lot of slimy politicians vying for her slot.
Nothing will improve with her departure.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Since anyone can vote as a Demonrat when dead – can’t Feinstein continue to vote in the Senate even if she’s dead?
She’s an amoral POS Traitor and has been her entire career. Another traitorous maggot who gets out with all the swag it’s stolen AND a fat pension.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Finally! A presidential candidate with higher approval ratings than Slo Joe! Getting ready to kick off her campaign!
She’ll still win another term.
Yet another opportunity to say Thank You California !
Now she can rest after doing enough damage – 6 feet underground and hope her poison body juice remains don’t seep down into the aquifer.
