Dianne Feinstein 2024.

That appears to be a real possibility after L.A. Magazine reported that the 87-year-old U.S. senator from California filed the initial re-election paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.

By the 2024 election, Feinstein, who is already the oldest sitting senator, will be 91. If she were to win re-election and serve her entire term, she would be 97.

It was just last month that prominent liberal commentators suggested that Feinstein should retire, citing "cognitive decline."

"It's time for Sen. Feinstein to retire," wrote UC Irvine law professor and CNN contributor Rick Hasen. "She did some great work in Senate. But it's been clear for last few years that her cognitive decline is serious. Let Gov. Newsom appoint someone who can fully represent CA's interests until election."

According to a New Yorker article in December, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., had to ask Feinstein twice to step down from her role as the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee because she forgot the first conversation. The article cites an aide to another Democratic senator who stated, “She’s an incredibly effective human being, but there’s definitely been deterioration in the last year. She’s in a very different mode now.”

I guess when you’re with China, it’s forever.

[HighSierra5]

Sure her name isn’t really Frankenstein.

[Kozak]

I hope she wins.
California deserves it.

[Maskot]

Why file? She’s a democrat and has already won, according to dominion

[DoodleDawg]

She trying to out-do Strom Thurmond?

[Doofer]

I suppose it gives her a reason to live.

[Alberta's Child]

Means nothing except that she can raise money for her campaign and build a campaign staff filled with her friends and cronies.

Political campaigns are the most transparent bribery rackets in America today.

[jughandle]

Just searched for how long she’s been in the Senate (1992) and saw an interesting Wikipedia line, net worth of $90 million. Wow, and that’s just the reportable money.

[Richard Axtell]

She wants to die in office? She must be really dirty.

[sport]

California does deserve her. But we don't. But by then her ilk is the only kind we will get. Thanks to the treachery of the Republican Party, there will be no more President Trumps. They will be no Republican Party either, But the Republicans will find that out soon enough. Not even the Democrats have any use for a Judas Iscariot. He died alone and no one mourned his passing. As they will.

Hurrah for old dykes and psychopomps.

We have governance by the living dead.

Soon she won’t be able to put two words together, but she has a huge grift/pork trough organization dependent on her, so like in any oligarchy, they will prop her up even after she stops breathing.

Does she sleep in a coffin yet?

No, it’s Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod...

[Road Warrior ‘04]

The Dead Sea was only sick when she was born!

[central_va]

DiFi 20204. Has Fox called this race yet?

[KittyKares]

China must pay well. Besides, she probably figures if Biden can be president, why can’t she be a senator?

[sappy]

exactly. Must ensure no one gets too close to the truth while she’s living.

[StAnDeliver]

When Madame Antoinette attempts to 25A Biden, her Squat cadre is going to flip it around on her, on Schumer, on Hoyer, on the entire 70+ Donkey cart pullers, and make them pass the same tests that 25A Committee wants to administer to Xiden.

If the democraps want to remove someone from office, here’s a prime candidate.
