When Kamala Harris was sworn into the Senate in 2017, it was her California colleague Dianne Feinstein who welcomed her.
“She invited me to her Senate hideaway. There, with one hand, she presented me with a glass of California chardonnay. And with the other hand, a binder full of her draft bills,” the vice president said from the steps of San Francisco City Hall at Feinstein’s funeral Thursday. “And true to her mayoral roots, she was deeply immersed in the details of each bill and how each would play on the streets of our beloved state.”
Harris, like others who remembered Feinstein, depicted her as a titan of the Senate whose roots in California politics shaped her.
