California Democrats Vote Not to Endorse Sen. Dianne Feinstein

HeadlineFeb 26, 2018

In political news, the California Democratic Party has voted not to endorse longtime Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein in her bid to win a sixth term. Feinstein is being challenged from the left by California state Senate leader Kevin de León. At their annual convention in San Diego, California Democrats voted 54 to 37 percent to back de León, who has also been endorsed by SEIU, the Service Employees International Union. On Saturday, de León said, “The days of Democrats biding our time, biting our tongue, and triangulating at the margins are over.”
