On Tuesday, long time Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein announced that she will not be seeking re-election in 2024.
Feinstein, who has represented California since 1992, said in a statement: “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.”
The career politician is the longest-serving female senior, as well as the oldest serving senator at the ripe age of 89.
“I campaigned in 2018 on several priorities for California and the nation: preventing and combating wildfires, mitigating the effects of record-setting drought, responding to the homelessness crisis, and ensuring all Americans have access to affordable, high-quality health care,” she said. “Congress has enacted legislation on all of these topics over the past several years, but more needs to be done – and I will continue these efforts.”

Feinstein vowed to remain “focused on passing commonsense legislation to fight the epidemic of gun violence, preserving our pristine lands and promoting economic growth – especially to position California for what I believe will be the century of the Pacific.”
She also promised to use her “seniority on the Appropriations Committee to ensure California gets its fair share of funding” before the end of her term in 2025.
“I’m confident we can achieve these goals because we’ve done it before,” she continued. “From the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban to the 2014 CIA torture report, from preserving Lake Tahoe and the Mojave Desert to passing the first significant global warming legislation, from protecting student athletes from abuse to protecting consumers from harmful chemicals, and more recently improving our efforts to combat wildfire and drought, we have improved the lives of millions.”

She concluded by stating that even “with a divided Congress, we can still pass bills that will improve lives,” noting, “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.”
Talk about the end of an error – uh, I mean – era.

Good riddence, she is part of the reason of the decline of our once proud country, where the dumbing down of the population by the criminal dem party has cause a loss of 20 points from the averge citizens IQ. Yes, I know the parasites are proud.
Good riddance.
She mentioned, “Pacific”.
Who’s?
Communist China’s, I would dare guess.
Enjoy your retirement and don’t feel any guilt when you spend our money.
Just stay away, please.
She should have been expelled from Congress for her false accusations about Judge Kavenaugh. She blatantly, and unashamedly lied to Congress, the Supreme Court, and the American people. She leave the Senate in a dishonorable end.
She needs to share a room in a convalescent hospital with her pal Joe Biden and they can compare dementia symptoms.
Whatever happened to the her Chinese Gardener SPY she employed for some 20 years? Was this just Fake News manufactured by some Right Wing Conspirators? Term Limits, Term Limits Term Limits! FAT CHANCE!
It is long overdue for Senator Feinstein to retire, but the problem is that the California voters will just install another progressive knothead to the office. It is sad that the voters in the State of California are so apparently ignorant that they don’t realize that they are being sold a bill of goods that will result in their impoverishment and destruction over time. Funny thing is that those that are the loudest proponents of the progressive causes are likely to be the first to be sacrificed to the “progressive Gods” that are currently the majority party in the state. It is too bad, used to be a nice place to live.
Don’t let the door hit her backside on the way out. Her absence shall be an improvement.
Another useless politician like Pelosi. Bolshevik Feinstein has this idea that no Veteran should own a firearm, because they all, have PTSD. First of all not all Veterans have PTSD, and Bolshevik Feinstein is paranoid. What Bolshevik Feinstein is afraid of, America comes down to the wire, what a better way to lead the charge in a 2nd American Revolution Than to have Veterans with prior weapons experience. The liberal commie Democrats can’t transform America to Marxist Obama’s America, with a government patented after Communist China, unless they confiscate all the firearms.
I suppose ger gardener will quit now, if he has not already done so. China will no longer have any reason keep tabs on her.
Why is the title: “End of an Error?” The saying is: End of an era. Not a huge deal, but an observation.
don’t be surprised on Election Day to see her campaigning at the polls because she forgot that she is not running, TYPICAL LIBERAL POLITICIAN, brain damaged !!!!
Senator Feinstein and myself used to have a rapport despite our political differences but the Kavanugh nomination was a straw that broke the camels back….That was filth and political corruption no one could tolerate, and that is what I said, she was a low life to orchestrate that filth and should look at stepping down…She has enough insider money to stay comfortable…
