U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) faces new questions about her ability to fulfill her job responsibilities.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein pushed back Thursday on a news report that renewed questions about her age and capacity to fulfill the job responsibilities of the Senate.
After the Chronicle posted the story, Feinstein, 88, said in a statement that “the real question is whether I’m still an effective representative for 40 million Californians, and the record shows that I am.”, “I have remained committed to achieving results, and I’d put my record up against anyone’s.
On the day of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recall election in September, she declined to answer any questions about what it may mean about her own political future. Some Democrats speculated that Feinstein would face pressure to step down if a Republican had beaten Newsom. During the conversation in a Senate hallway, she then asked an aide whether the election was that day.
Sen. Alex Padilla and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued on-the-record statements to the Chronicle defending Feinstein.“I always felt that the Senate and the U.S. Congress were made for older people in that the longer you stay there, the more power you have,” said Jimmie Woods-Gray, a Los Angeles activist and longtime Feinstein supporter, who also serves as president of the L.A. Fire Commission, a civilian oversight board.
