California Democrats Vote Not to Endorse Sen. Dianne Feinstein
--------------------------------------------------------------

In political news, the California Democratic Party has voted not to
endorse longtime Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein in her bid to win a
sixth term. Feinstein is being challenged from the left by California
state Senate leader Kevin de León. At their annual convention in San
Diego, California Democrats voted 54 to 37 percent to back de León, who
has also been endorsed by SEIU, the Service Employees International
Union. On Saturday, de León said, "The days of Democrats biding our
time, biting our tongue, and triangulating at the margins are over."
