LOS ANGELES (AP) – Democratic Rep. Katie Porter of California says she’ll seek the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a fellow Democrat and the oldest member of the chamber.
Porter said Tuesday in a video posted on Twitter that “Especially in times like these, California needs a warrior in Washington.”
Porter says that’s exactly why she’s announcing her candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.
Porter was first elected to Congress in 2018.
Feinstein is 89 years old and has faced questions about her age, her health and whether she’ll seek another term.
Feinstein has not announced whether she’ll seek reelection in 2024 but is widely expected to retire.
