(Senator Dianne Feinstein)

Palm Springs, CA

Amid recent developments, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), currently the most senior serving senator, is encountering renewed demands for her resignation. This follows reports from The New York Times revealing that she has granted power of attorney to her daughter.

The conflict emerges from a dispute involving Katherine Feinstein, 66, the sole daughter of the long-serving California senator, and the three children of Richard Blum, Ms. Feinstein’s late husband who passed away last year.

A legal battle has emerged on multiple fronts. One case revolves around Ms. Feinstein’s intention to sell a beachfront property located in a San Francisco neighborhood. Another legal challenge centers on disagreements concerning funds from Mr. Blum’s life insurance policy.

Feinstein has had a long and illustrious career as a California Senator first being elected into office in 1992. Before that she served as mayor of San Francisco from 1978 to 1988. The senior Senator has said previously she would ride out her term until it ends in 2024 and not run for reelection.
