Democrat Dianne Feinstein won her bid for a fifth term representing California in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, extending a career in California politics that began in 1969.
In early returns, Feinstein, 85, led fellow Democrat Kevin de León, a state senator three decades her junior, 52 percent to 48 percent, in a race that pitted experience versus ideological purity. CNN projected Feinstein’s win shortly after the polls closed.
With her victory, Feinstein is poised to remain an influential figure in Washington. She is likely to retain her position as the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees immigration policy and screens President Trump’s judicial nominees. Feinstein played a central role in the fierce fight over Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination earlier this fall.

It hasn’t dawned on the Leftards yet that she cost them a shot at the Senate with her Hail Mary pass on Kavanaugh.
She is better than he would be, not by much.
She did it without my vote.
FineSwine will die in office.....this is not a bad thing as that other character is even worse. In office, or out of office, FineSwine is basically finished...dead RAT walking.
Assuming she lasts out her term, she’ll be 91 for the next run.
Her and Pelosi. During Pelosi’s presser today, it sounded like she was about to breathe her last.
Yep, I didn’t want to coronate another young Leftard to serve for decades. At least her expiration date is coming up.
85
Doesn’t look a day over 95
What the hell happened to California that this was their choice?
And Gavin Newsome will appoint her replacement. It’ll be another leftie in any case. I voted for DeLeon just because I hate Fineswine and didn’t want her stunt rewarded with another term.
Just as ex-smokers are the most cognizant of the negative aspects of the habit, those who grew up in California years ago during the heyday most clearly see the wasteland it has become.
“Better” is a relative term.
Is it better to die in a fiery automobile crash, or by electrocution by stepping on the third rail?
The outcome is about the same.
California had a proposition measure on the ballot five plus years ago (approx). It involved open primaries. I voted against it. At the time I didn’t realize that a loophole in it allowed two members of the same party to be the general election candidates. Well, it passed. We now have situations where there isn’t a Republican on the ballet for certain offices. Talk about one party rule.
6 years of her will better than anyone Gov Newsom appoints if she ails?
85 years old and she won a 6-year term in the US Senate.
Who gets planted first, RBG or DiFi?
85? Drop dead Difi.o
That is exactly what happened all under the premise it would help other parties to have a shot but the recipient of that ballot initiative was democrats. I voted against that.
so The Wicked Witch of the West Number Two (after Pelousy) wins ....
and thus, probably stays out of prison for the rest of her life
