Representative Barbara Lee MagickMuffin Jan 2023 #29

She is very experienced and seasoned. I fully expect others to join the race if Senator JohnSJ Jan 2023 #2

Even if Feinstein announces leftieNanner Jan 2023 #9

Senator Feinstein has made it very clear privately that she doesn't intend to seek another term. Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #11

We could end up with Dem vs Dem in November, 2024. RandySF Jan 2023 #5

Here in California we have what is called a jungle primary, where the top two vote JohnSJ Jan 2023 #7

It seems very likely that we could find two Democrats squaring off in Nov. 2024. Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #12

Yes. Problem we have is a lot of crackpots jump in, and it is not unusual to see 30 candidates JohnSJ Jan 2023 #16

It would not surprise me in the least if 30 candidates jumped into this primary race Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #24

Barbara Lee and Katie Porter people Jan 2023 #14

Not really. I love Barbara but she is 76. Katie is 49. New young blood is needed right now ZonkerHarris Jan 2023 #18

Christ, another reason to absolutely vote for Katie over Barbara. beaglelover Jan 2023 #22

I don't measn this as agism but rather a tactical path to power for Democrats. ZonkerHarris Jan 2023 #26

I'm voting for Katie in any upcoming primary for CA Senate. Period. End of story. beaglelover Jan 2023 #21

Katie is going to be a great senator and make California proud! Emile Jan 2023 #28
