Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Monday she has every intention of serving the remainder of her Senate term and is still deliberating whether to retire in 2024.
A spokesman followed up with a statement shortly after: “The senator has no plans to step down and will announce her plans for 2024 at the appropriate time.” During the 2021 recall campaign against Newsom, pressure on Feinstein intensified out of concern he could be replaced by a Republican who then would have the power to fill any Senate openings that might arise.
Feinstein shrugged off reports Monday that some California Democrats in the House are already privately taking steps to run for her seat.Reps. Ro Khanna , Katie Porter , Adam B. Schiff and Barbara Lee as potential Senate hopefuls, noting that three possible contenders have sought advice from former Sen. Barbara Boxer.
A pair of Bernie Sanders allies have privately encouraged Khanna to seek the presidency, so it’s unclear whether he would enter what’s expected to be an expensive open Senate race.
