Panel: Feinstein replacement debate ‘is about California raw power politics’



Concerns about Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s health are sparking growing debate over her fitness for office as Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and John Fetterman (D-Pa.) return to Capitol Hill following lengthy absences for health issues. Looking forward to 2024, Democrats are unsure whether they’d rather face former President Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Eugene Scott, Margie Omero and Rick Tyler join the MTP NOW roundtable to discuss.

  1. Weekend at Bernie’s

  2. This is the real problem in the country, these older ppl holding on to power and they refuse to step aside.

  3. Of course the Republicans will not help the Dems replace Feinstein. They can just sit and do nothing, and the Dems are weakened. It's a win for the Republicans. Now, I've supported Feinstein since she was mayor of SF. It's sad she is disabled, but she is. She owes her supporters a wise decision, to step down. This is said with respect and sadness. Get real, Diane.

  4. Fetterwoman can’t fulfill his duties should he resign?

  5. Democrat party is a cult of death.

  6. China is probably demanding the Democrats replace her or they won't get their monthly pay off checks.

  7. Oh, please. Diane Feinstien is dedicated to preserving the current Ruling Oligarchy. She has always voted accordingly

  8. 😂😂😂❤❤❤🤪🤪🖕🖕so sorry to break your liberballs but her seat has to be earned!!so disgusted with the democratic party.. burning one of their own at the stake 😟.. thank God for republicans

  9. We need trump he is the only one that can fight for the American patriot

  10. Is fienstein even living. I don’t believe this government. If you can’t show up to work I would say your done

  11. Feinstein (V) and Fettterman (V) – The Vegetable Caucus. One More Term for Each!

  12. I don’t think she should be pushed out but at the same time her of all people I would think she would realize she is holding up getting judges in .

  13. The host here is not doing her job. She's supposed to regulate that guy and tell him to let the other members of the panel speak. He's just talking over people. It's annoying.

  14. But it was ok for traitor trump to put ignorant justices in postions most weren't qualified for.

  15. She has to make a decision so she can be back ASAP!!!

  16. There should be an age limit on all of them! If you are 70 and above..no more politics for you period!!!

  17. All the Democrats care about just like John fetterman they want someone that will vote Yes when they tell them

  18. Age and health? Hmm. I have nothing to offer this segment. Rick Tyler? Really? You too? I always think with Americans they make suspicious allies. All of them. Cannot be trusted. Far left. I have never met anyone labelled a bit of a lefty or Independent since I met Trump's America. Trump is so far right if I look to my left he is visible. And believe me Rictus Tyler there is left left on my left.

  19. I’m not voting for any person who doesn’t think our children deserve to be safe in school and in our communities. #independentvoter

  20. He keeps cutting her off this was an awful panel!

  21. Politicians can't let go that Dark MONEY. 88 is to old. Period..

  22. This is holding up very important work. The Senate is trying to replace federal judges. We've got too many political operative, traitors on the bench around the country.

  23. It's a total myth from activists that the Judiciary committee isn't functioning because of Feinstein……..they've already passed more judges than McConnell and Trump did at this time in his presidency………the New York Times ran a story on it in February.

  24. And that 5150 Crap that she pulled on us on a Sunday which was “Illegal” ? Good Riddance… 💀 ☠️ 🇩🇪

  25. California does not like Dianne. That white dude is a tool.

  26. Feinstein needs a rest.

  27. ah, the false comparisons are amazing. It's like Fox lite.

  28. If you can't get a passing grade on an s.a.t., or even g.e.d., you have no business serving in the highest levels of government. But then, what would the Repubelicans do for representation? They are not going to vote for such high minded people…

  29. Marsh Blackburn's yammering about unqualified judges just made me laugh and laugh. Can we all say Kacsmaryk and Cannon?

  30. How many of you voted for Dianne Feinstein in 2018 ? You chose this.
    California doesn't need Strom Thurmond representing us, in the United States Senate !

  31. Senator Feinstein should resign in the next 15-20 days! She is too old and not healthy! Governor Newsom has to show some " balls" and force her out and choose her interim replacement!

    November 2024 will be when a permanent replacement is selected by California Voters!
