lilham 752 Posted February 14, 2023 Senator Dianne Feinstein of California announced today that she would retire, but also seems unaware she did that: Asked by reporters about her announcement to resign, @SenFeinstein says “If I haven't made that decision, I haven't released anything.” A staffer then told the senator that a statement had been released. Feinstein responded saying “I didn’t know they put it out.” 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,313 Posted February 14, 2023 She should step down now not wait until the end of her term. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comped 525 Posted February 14, 2023 18 minutes ago, Sean said: She should step down now not wait until the end of her term. She won't, because unlike the Senator from PA, there's no immediate need for her to do so. It wouldn't be a risk for her health to finish out the term (unlike his) - even though she seemingly barely has a clue anymore. She's been like that for at least the past 5-10 years, so it's nothing really new. It's just gotten a bit worse as of late. I don't think she'll step down before her term is done unless forced. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,582 Posted February 14, 2023 Can she step down now and avoid a special election before the scheduled one on the date of presidential one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked at California Senator Padilla's term, and it looks like he had to conduct two elections in November at once: to finish the 2 months of the 117th Congress (Special) and full term in the 118th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_Senate_elections_in_California 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably already an issue, or she has something complicating her condition. She's missed several votes this week due to a "health matter" Don't expect this to be fatal of course, shingles is painful as hell but rarely fatal. However, the recovery time can last months, especially in older folks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Democratic Governor will appoint, and the person could have the position for a couple years prior to the special, making them the incumbent and a near shoe-in. That's what happened with Padilla who took over Kamala's seat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,964 Posted May 10, 2023 She reminds me of Strom Thurmond in the wheelchair and former DeathList entree Maureen O'Hara when she got her lifetime achievement award. Both were dead half a year later. AND she's 10+ years younger than them and looks just as bad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
