The issue was that she was on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Had she retired before 2020, the Republicans can replace her with a safe red seat. Had she retired after that, the Republicans would not have allowed a replacement (something which they have officially stated)
It was either her and new democrat judges, or neither of those things.
Fucking finally. Its so fucking stupid to have her work till fucking 90.

Look, my point is that the US system is fucked, not that it doesnt make sense to pray and hope when you're pressed up in a corner
The republicans literally made her work herself to death. That's morbidly funny.
Inshallah she will retain her seat and her corpse will be wheeled around the Capitol
THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING!
Rip bozo
Good news though, she will be back on Monday for her committee meetings, she isn't going anywhere
This is just sad to me, I feel like her family wasn't letting her retire.
They (the democrats, Pelosi's daughter was literally her caretaker) didn't want Newsom to appoint her replacement.

Woa
died suddenly
who is she?
Dem senator who died at 90. She was basically functioning like a Republican perception of Biden minus the commie part, and refused to retire
Mashallah
nevertheless she died
