“#LA Times columnist urges senator Dianne Feinstein to resign<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Los Angeles Times<\/a>\u00a0columnist Erika Smith is urging Sen.\u00a0Dianne Feinstein<\/a>, D-Calif., to resign so that California Gov.\u00a0Gavin Newsom<\/a>\u00a0can app<\/a>oint a \u201cBlack or Latino\u201d Democrat in her place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Feinstein was hit with a damning report from The New Yorker that alleged accusations of her \u201ccognitive decline,\u201d which followed severe backlash she received from the left for the\u00a0hug she gave her colleague, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., after the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a piece\u00a0published in Feinstein\u2019s home state<\/a> paper on Thursday, Smith suggested that News<\/a>om should be filling two vacant Senate seats instead of just the one replacing Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, which means he can appoint both a Black and Latino to the Senate instead of sacrificing one for the other.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRepresentation\u00a0does\u00a0matter, and the more I listen to Black and Latino leaders demand it on behalf of a state that is becoming more diverse every year, the less I understand why our senior senator is still in office, blocking progress,\u201d Smith wrote. \u201cAt 87 years old, Feinstein is the oldest member of the U.S. Senate, a member of the Silent Generation in a state dominated by people under 40. She is a wealthy woman in a state overrun with poverty, and the homelessness that too often accompanies it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The columnist explained, \u201cGiven all of this, it would make perfect sense for Feinstein to be selfless and retire early with California\u2019s gratitude for a distinguished career. Now is absolutely the time to be an ally to communities of color and let another younger lawmaker represent the evolving values of this state. For to adequately address the many long-standing, race-based disparities in everything from healthcare to housing, California needs a Black senator and a Latino senator.\u201d<\/p>\n

While her current term doesn\u2019t end until 2025, Feinstein has already signaled that she will step down as the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
