After making history as the first female mayor of San Francisco and one of the first two female senators in California, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, ’55, announced this month that she will not seek reelection in 2024. With three decades on the Hill, she is the longest-serving woman in the upper chamber. “She represents an epoch in the Senate,” Sen. Cory Booker, ’91, MA ’92, told STANFORD in 2017. “There will be a huge vacuum when she leaves.”Or a giant sucking sound, like an industrial toilet flushing.
I saw a news report (Foxnews?) that it’s an open secret Feinstein has been a basket case for years...no idea what’s going on.
Telling that she wasn’t elected president pro tempore of the senate - she supposedly declined.
