Dianne Feinstein announces she will not seek re-election in 2024
[FoxNews] California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has represented the Golden State in the U.S. Senate since 1992, announced Tuesday that she will not seek re-election in 2024.
"I am announcing today I will not run for reelection in 2024 but intend to accomplish as much for California as I can through the end of next year when my term ends," Feinstein said in a statement.
Feinstein, the longest-serving female senator ever, is also the oldest sitting senator at age 89.
From October to December 2022, filings from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) revealed Feinstein raised a mere $558.91.
Ahead of Feinstein's announcement, a handful of House Democrats announced they would run for her seat in the 2024 election.
Both Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., announced their bids for Feinstein's Senate seat last month. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., is also expected to announce later this month that she will run for the seat.
