""I just felt it was time,""
""I wanted to do other things.""
Barbara Boxer retired from the Senate at age 70 after 24 years, saying she wanted to pursue other things. Democrats across multiple states are pushing senior lawmakers to yield to a new generation of leaders, motivated by internal ambition, opposition to Donald Trump, and anxiety after the 2024 loss. Boxer encouraged Dianne Feinstein to step aside amid concerns about Feinstein's health; Feinstein continued in office and died at 90 after voting on a procedural matter. Nancy Pelosi, 85, now faces multiple challengers and may decide her political future after California's Nov. 4 special election.
