CNN
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the 87-year-old veteran Democrat, insisted on Tuesday that she is committed to serving out her full term in office even after California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he had a list of "multiple" potential replacements and would appoint a Black woman to replace her should she retire.
"There's nothing to it," Feinstein told CNN on Tuesday about Democratic governor's remarks. "No," she said when asked if she would retire before the end of her six-year term, which is set to expire at the end of 2024. "I have not discussed that with anybody, nobody has asked me any questions about it." "We're very good friends. I don't think he meant it the way some people thought," Feinstein said when asked about the governor's comments. The senator added, "You're making a mountain out of a molehill."More Related News
