Sen. Dianne Feinstein will not seek reelection in 2024

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) announced that she will not seek reelection in 2024, clearing the way for a crowded Democratic primary field for her California Senate seat.

Feinstein, 89, said Tuesday she would retire at the end of her term. Reps. Katie Porter (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) have already announced their campaigns for her seat.

“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," she said in a statement. “Even with a divided Congress, we can still pass bills that will improve lives. Each of us was sent here to solve problems. That’s what I’ve done for the last 30 years, and that’s what I plan to do for the next two years. My thanks to the people of California for allowing me to serve them.”
