Veteran Senator Dianne Feinstein, a titan of US political history who notched a string of legislative achievements during a trailblazing three-decade career in the Senate, has died at 90 years old, US media said Friday.
Feinstein, the Senate’s oldest member, was celebrated as a pioneer for women in politics and a hugely effective legislator. During a career that began in local California government, she grew to be a tough check on administrations from both parties.
Her death is not expected to shift the tight balance of power in the Senate, with the Democratic governor of California appointing her temporary replacement. “She was a trailblazer and dedicated her life to public service,” said David Valadao, a member of California’s delegation in the House of Representatives.
