“I am announcing today I will not run for reelection in 2024 but intend to accomplish as much for California as I can through the end of next year when my term ends,” Feinstein, 89, said in the statement.
Later on Tuesday, reporters at the Capitol asked her about the announcement.
“I haven’t made that decision,” she said, according to Savannah Behrman of the National Journal. “I haven’t released anything.”
A Feinstein staffer then told her, “We put out the statement.”
“You put out the statement?” the senator replied, seemingly surprised.

That can be interpreted in two ways; either she’s so out of it she forgot they’d released it or other people are taking matters into their own hands and telling her she’s done. It’s not totally clear.
True. Either way is bad though. What is clear is that she should have retired way before now.
Sure. But it’s not like she’s alone in the “no longer fit for public office” category.
