California Senator Dianne Feinstein gave her daughter Katherine power of attorney over her affairs while the 90-year-old declines to relinquish her Senate seat. Feinstein has held her seat in the Senate representing California for nearly 31 years. She is the fifth-oldest person to serve in the Senate and one of the wealthiest. Feinstein took sick leave earlier this year and returned to the Capitol in May.
Feinstein is in a legal battle with some family members over her late husband’s estate. Richard Blum passed away in 2022.
