Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will serve out the remainder of her term despite worrying reports about her mental fitness, she told reporters this week.
Feinstein, 89, has spent roughly 30 years in the Senate, and critics have recently raised questions about her mental health, citing a reportedly failing memory, among other things. Nevertheless, both she and her office said she intends to serve out the rest of her term, which ends in 2024.
"Yes. Absolutely," she told the Los Angeles Times when asked whether she plans to stay on. "There’s still two years, you know. A lot can happen in two years."
Feinstein went on to say that she would come to a decision about whether to run for re-election in 2024 "probably by spring," according to the Times.
