California’s new U.S. senator says she won’t seek a full term in 2024. She says she can better serve the state by focusing on key issues, not a campaign.

The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein means that Gov. Newsom has to decide who will fill her seat. He has said he would appoint a caretaker, not one of the three Democrats who are already running.

On two other measures, California voters continued to distance themselves from the state’s tough-on-crime approach of prior decades.

Fourteen 2020 presidential contenders spoke at the California Democratic Party convention, and all but a couple called for change.
