Why are they holding onto her? It’s not like her replacement will ever vote against the demons. I don’t get it.
Me either. Maybe a struggle between 2 factions who want their stalinist type appointed.
Well, in the House and Senate you get committee appointments based on seniority. Feinstein is on the Judiciary, Intelligence and Appropriations committees, some of the most powerful committees. So maybe they are keeping her around for a reliable vote on those committees. Any freshman replacement would not likely get those assignments.
Probably this is a sensitive subject for people to talk about, and nobody wants to go to her and tell her that she should resign.
Replacement will be elected in November 2024 as she’s already announced she’s not running for re-election.
So she’s just running out the clock on her Senate career and nobody wants to tell her to leave now.
