California Senator Dianne Feinstein brought speculation to an end Tuesday.
On her official website she said, "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.
"We were already starting to see candidates announce their bids, so Katie Porter and Adam Schiff, and so I think that was in a sense a signal to Senator Feinstein that she needs to make a decision. "She first won office at a time when Democrats only had a narrow edge in the state and she always positioned herself as a relatively moderate Democrat even though the party and the state have moved more in a liberal direction, so I think it's going to bring both a generational change and also potentially a shift in the ideological orientation," said Professor Schickler.
"Fate threw us together. we were quite different in style and personality, and we remained very close and when it came to California we were joined at the hip," said former Senator Barbara Boxer calling on Congress to honor Feinstein's fight by renewing her 1994 assault weapons ban.
