Feinstein's primary caregiver: Pelosi's daughter
A quiet caretaking arrangement has raised questions about whether Nancy Pelosi has the ailing senator's personal interests at heart.

When Sen. Dianne Feinstein walked into the Capitol last week, ending a monthslong medical absence, she was accompanied by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a small entourage of aides — and a close personal confidant with a storied political pedigree.
Nancy Carinne Prowda blended into the swarm around the legendary California Democrat. The San Francisco Chronicle made note of her presence but left unreported amid the spectacle was the larger role that Prowda, the eldest child of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has come to play in Feinstein’s life as the 89-year-old has dealt with the absence of her deceased husband, the departure of trusted staffers, a nasty case of shingles and spiraling concerns about her fitness for office.

By all accounts, the arrangement is rooted in a long and friendly relationship between Feinstein and the Pelosis — twin pillars of San Francisco politics. But among some of those who are aware, it has also raised uncomfortable questions about whether Nancy Pelosi’s political interests are in conflict with Feinstein’s personal interests.

Regardless, the appearance of conflict associated with the caregiving setup could further perturb Democrats who want a more active participant in the Senate.
Meanwhile, the questions about Feinstein’s future are not going away.
Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told CNN yesterday he’s “monitoring her medical condition almost on a daily basis” due to her pivotal vote on judicial confirmations. Added Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), “As a friend, you can see she’s hurting.”
Commentary:
The walking Democrat Zombies.
I can see any daughter of Nancy Pelosi as being quite willing to bend certain rules, maybe add her own mixture of non-prescribed ‘Vitamins’ to Diane’s food or drink. Feinstein is likely to be more vulnerable now, since her husband Richard Blum died last year.
When are Democrats going to stop with the “I promise to appoint a black woman” thing? Biden did that with his VP and Supreme Court Justice, I didn’t even realize Newsom already promised to fill Feinstein’s seat with a black woman…
Isn't this reverse racism?
Black women make up less than 8% of the US population. That is becoming absurd. It’s blatant racist virtue signaling and literally everyone sees right through it.
The manner which Democrats are handling Sen. Feinstein is reminiscent of RBG and this could really backfire on Pelosi much like that backfired on Democrats. It could make it look rigged for Schiff and Porter could exploit that, or Feinstein may die and someone like London Breed could be appointed by Newsom and keep the Senate it for 30 or 40 years.
