WASHINGTON— Countless Democrats just hit a California-sized snag: Sen. Dianne Feinstein may not retire after all.

In an exclusive interview with Raw Story, California’s senior senator announced she’s not not running. In fact, she has no plans to decide—let alone announce—her 2024 intentions until next year.

“I need a little bit of time, so it's not this year,” Feinstein told Raw Story at the Capitol Wednesday.

The 89-year-old incumbent says she isn’t fazed by her current—or potential—Democratic challengers.

1. It doesn't matter when she announces.

She will now face at least two other democrats in a primary if she chooses to run again.

2. Good lord woman, let it go.

You're going to be 90 years old this June ma'am.

Be gracious and make way for a new generation.

Somebody like that very dynamic progressive Katie Porter might benefit from your endorsement.

12. Geez. Not a good sign

and she's only diminishing her status dragging this out. Consistent to the end in not doing the right thing at this point.

Even Adam Schiff--not exactly a reckless rebel in the party--has announced.

11. Simply saying "its time to go" isn't a hyperbolic rant.

Its just the fact of the matter & there's no denying it.
I dont see people going off on her at all. She's done her job, its been a career, its time to go.

I have to be careful what I say about Feinstein because I'm on thin ice.

But ... yeah.

13. The longer she delays, the more it becomes a real problem.

Playing coy about it in January 2023 isn't particularly helpful to Porter or Schiff or the Dem Party.

Adding "I will announce my decision in (insert month prior to the filing deadline), 2023" to this vague statement would be fine.

15. It is irrelevant, and it won't adversely affect those running for her seat, because, 1. She won't

be running, and 2. the nominee will be one of the other candidates running for that seat regardless

It's (way past) time for her to go.
It doesn't matter what she decides, Schiff will beat her.

where your time is your own, no alarm clocks, no commutes, no boss, and as long as she's worked, no financial worries as Senators have liberal pensions and healthcare.
