I’m not a Californian so I don’t have any insight to their last senate election, but Feinstein probably checks every box the Democratic Party and DSCC want. She’s a liberal (this is not a compliment when I say it) through and through, which means nobody will tell her to get out of the way. She was exactly where she was meant to be to prevent any progressive challengers in the primary from ascending

I believe she's also on a very important committee, and "letting" a younger person take that seat means they lose that position on the committee.
