Representatives for Winfrey threw cold water on the idea after her name was floated this week as a potential replacement for the Senate's oldest member, who has faced mounting pressure to resign before her term ends next year.
After years of criticisms from those in her party who said she was no longer up to the job, Feinstein said at the time of her diagnosis that she wouldn't seek reelection in 2024, though she vowed to serve out the remaining 20 months of her term. Facing resignation calls from House Democrats and frustration from her Senate colleagues that was spilling out into public view, a wheelchair-bound Feinstein returned to the Capitol in mid-May looking frail and at times disoriented.
Despite that refusal, Feinstein's deteriorating health has placed Gov. Gavin Newsom in an uncomfortable position. The race to replace Feinstein in the next Congress is between Reps. Adam Schiff , Katie Porter , and Barbara Lee , with Schiff leading in the polls by a significant margin. Newsom vowed in 2021 that he would fill Feinstein's seat, should she retire early, with a black woman after he appointed Sen. Alex Padilla , a Hispanic male, to replace Vice President Kamala Harris.
