Feinstein says she intends to serve full term
By Jordain Carney - 03/16/21 01:47 PM EDT Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that she intends to serve her full term, which runs into early 2025.
Feinstein’s comments, made to reporters in the Capitol, come after California Gov. Gavin Newsom said that he would name a Black woman to the seat if Feinstein retires.
Feinstein, 87, downplayed the comments from Newsom, and made clear that she has no plans to step down early.
"Please, we're very good friends. I don't think he meant that the way some people thought," she told reporters when asked about Newsom's comments.
Feinstein said that she hadn't spoken to Newsom but that their relationship was "good and strong."
