Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) announced a bid for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) seat on Tuesday.
“California needs a warrior in the Senate – to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy,” Porter said in a tweet.
There has been significant speculation that Feinstein will retire at the end of her term in 2024.
“Everyone is of course welcome to throw their hat in the ring, and I will make an announcement concerning my plans for 2024 at the appropriate time,” Feinstein said in a statement on Tuesday after Porter’s announcement.
