California senator Dianne Feinstein, who turns 90 in June, told a reporter that she will not decide until next year whether to run for another six-year term. “I need a little bit of time, so it’s not this year,” she reportedly said.
Keep in mind that, in recent years, Feinstein has made several comments to reporters that were immediately retracted by her staff. Back in 2020, Jane Mayer of the New Yorker reported:
Many others familiar with Feinstein’s situation describe her as seriously struggling, and say it has been evident for several years. Speaking on background, and with respect for her accomplished career, they say her short-term memory has grown so poor that she often forgets she has been briefed on a topic, accusing her staff of failing to do so just after they have.
The 2024 California primary race for the U.S. Senate hasn’t been officially scheduled yet, but it’s usually held in early June. If she chooses to run for reelection, Feinstein will be almost 91 on that day. If Feinstein runs and wins another term, she will be 97 by the end of that term.
