LOS ANGELES — Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced Tuesday that she will not seek reelection in 2024, signaling the end of a groundbreaking political career spanning six decades in which she shattered gender barriers and left a mark on political battles over reproductive rights, gun control and environmental protection.
Anticipating her departure, a field of candidates had already begun assembling for what is expected to be a fierce campaign to replace Feinstein in the heavily Democratic state. Among the candidates so far is Democratic U.S. Rep. Katie Porter, a prominent member of the party’s progressive wing who announced her bid in January, and Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, who has been campaigning around the state.
