Funeral services for U.S. senator Dianne Feinstein will take place on Thursday at 1 p.m. on the front steps of San Francisco City Hall.
Flags remain at half-staff across the U.S. in honor of late Sen. Dianne FeinsteinVice President Kamala Harris and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will be among those delivering remarks at Thursday’s memorial for the late senator’s service.
On Wednesday, mourners streamed into San Francisco City Hall to pay their respects to Feinstein, whose casket was on display. City Hall is the building where Feinstein served as a board supervisor and the city’s first female mayor before departing for a groundbreaking career in Congress. Thursday’s service will mark the end of two days of events in the city that launched Feinstein’s political career. A recorded message from President Joe Biden will be played at Thursday's memorial, where U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Feinstein's granddaughter, Eileen Mariano, are also scheduled to speak.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, himself a former San Francisco mayor, and former California Gov. Jerry Brown are also expected to be in attendance. A livestream is planned for the service, which will be closed to the public."She broke down barriers and glass ceilings, but never lost her belief in the spirit of political cooperation," he said."There is simply nobody who possessed the poise, gravitas, and fierceness of Dianne Feinstein.
Days after the senator’s passing, Newsom appointed former union leader and Democratic insider Laphonza Butler. She was sworn in on Tuesday, becoming only the third Black female senator in U.S. history.
