US Senator Dianne Feinstein has died at 90 – report

<p>California Senator Dianne Feinstein has clearly been ill for some time but she was still being rolled out to vote for key bills because the Democrats only have a one-vote majority.</p><p> Her death will allow California Governor Gavin Newsom to appoint a replacement. </p><p>There was a rumour that he will appoint Kamala Harris in a deal where he would have the opportunity to run as vice president but that's just speculation. Adam Schiff is another possibility.</p><p>However Newsom himself said he would appoint someone who wasn't going to run in the seat in the 2024 election.</p><blockquote>“Yes. Interim appointment. I don’t want to get involved in the primary,”
Newsom said. “It would be completely unfair to the Democrats that have
worked their tail off. That primary is just a matter of months away. I
don’t want to tip the balance of that.”</blockquote><p>We probably won't have to wait long to find out as she was clearly in deteriorating health for some time.</p><p>Here's the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/29/dianne-feinstein-dead.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.PostToTwitter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">obituary </a>from CNBC.</p>
