Rep. Barbara Lee on Wednesday told colleagues that she intends to run for the U.S. Senate in 2024, according to a person familiar with the conversation, revealing her plans to join a race that several House Democrats have shown interest in this week.
Lee informed fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus of her thinking, according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations. Lee’s remarks did not amount to a formal announcement, said this person, who added that Lee is “getting her ducks in a row and figuring things out” and has spoken to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) about her intentions.
Asked later about her plans, Lee told The Washington Post: “There’s a time to talk about and that’s what I said, you know, I’ll talk about the Senate race once the timing is right. And that’s what I’m going to do, once the time is right.” ***
“We need to give her that respect — I don’t care who it is — and that’s what I’m doing,” she said of Feinstein. Lee added, “We’ll talk about it when the storm passes and when it’s appropriate.”
The person familiar with the Wednesday conversation said of Lee: “She is making plans to run. It’s not a secret.” This person added that there is no timeline yet for an announcement or launch and also noted the ongoing natural disaster in California amid severe storms and flooding.
Politico first reported Lee’s remarks. Her closed-door comments came a day after a fellow California Democrat, Rep. Katie Porter, announced publicly that she would run for the seat.

I say go for it Barbara. She was the only one that voted against the Iraq war. Profile In Courage stuff. With hindsight being 20-20 who’s to stay that she was wrong? Both Cheneys were for it and look how wonderful Liz turned out. The Bushes are discredited. Would she win? It will be a democrat that wins. Might as well be her. She’ll be 76 y/o. Why not? Are we entitled to win in Calif? If so you folks are a joke.
Anyone but Schitt.
She’s a Red, Jim!

Who cares who runs for the seat in California? One of the communists will win, so I don’t think it matters much which communist replaces the current one. Surely no one is thinking that an American freedom-loving Patriot could run and win, given the ballot fraud that has been perfected in that state over the years.
We will get Schiff, Lee, or Boxer or such and hope they can’t do to much damage to the rest of the country.
Maybe we should work on building the wall on the California border so that THOSE people can not invade the rest of the U.S.
Just a thought.
Let’s get Maxine Waters to run for the senate too.

Barbara Boxer had a higher IQ than this bag of hammers.
