A political free-for-all has broken out in California, with several high-profile Democrats jockeying to succeed 89-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein in 2024.
Mrs. Feinstein, who was first elected in 1992, has yet to announce whether she will seek another term. But that hasn’t stopped younger, ambitious Democrats from jumping into the race.
“California needs a warrior in the Senate – to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy,” said two-term Rep. Katie Porter when announcing her candidacy.
Mrs. Porter, who was just reelected in November, is not the only House Democrat angling for a promotion.
