>> from the bay area's local news station. we now with breaking news. >> thanks for joining us on kron. 4 news at noon. i'm kyla grogan. let's get started with our breaking news. the california senator dianne feinstein will not run for reelection in 2024. she says she will continue to serve out her current office term. the 89 year-old has represented california in the senate since 1992. and is currently the oldest member of congress. there has been widespread speculation over her political future for years now she filed the necessary paperwork to seek re-election back in 2021. and there have been several reports addressing her mental

acuity and fitness to serve last month. california representative's katie porter and adam schiff both announced their candidacy for feinstein, senate seat east bay congresswoman barbara lee is also rumored to be planning a campaign in her statement announcing her decision not to run. feinstein doesn't address any of the speculation or campaign announcements instead focusing on her plans for the rest of her term saying in part, quote, even with a divided congress, we can still pass bills that will improve lives. each of us was sent here to solve problems. that's what i've done for the last 30 years. and that's what i plan to do for the next 2 years. my thanks to the people of california for allowing me to serve them. today's announcement marks the end of a long political career for feinstein which began right here in the bay area. she was elected to the san francisco board of supervisors in 1969. 8 years later, she became the board's first female president and was named san francisco's first female mayor following

george moscone ease assassination. here now with some perspective on all of this is our political analyst michael yaki. michael, thanks so much for joining it interesting d-y. it's not like this is necessarily surprising news, but certainly a lot of speculation around senator senator feinstein, what was your reaction when you heard the announcement today? there's well. >> it was an unexpected. i'm glad that she's excited to go out on her own terms and to sort of and the so the sort of inside and outside pressure trade quick early to make room for these other candidates to run. now, she is basically taking herself off the board. and adam schiff, katie porter and others, opportunity to represent california in united states senate. i think it's really important to not. underestimate the impact that dianne feinstein has had. and california san francisco and for the country before there is nancy pelosi. there was dianne feinstein. she was face

of san francisco weather was taking taking reins to the city in the wake of the tragic assassination czar mayor george moscone supervisor harvey milk. whether was the or and work she did in healing the town after jonestown going to the united states senate is for the year. the women and passing the desert protection act and that protect the mojave desert and the assault weapons ban. she was someone who is out there. her name was bandied about as as potential vice presidential candidate. and yet she has a long record of service to this city to the state and to this country that we should all be thankful for. and now she's taking her last the linus and winter. i call it making way for the next generation of leaders for california. >> yeah. so i mean, would you say that her legacy really for women in politics cannot be understated. absolutely not. i mean, she was, but she was the first. woman mayor of a major

american city mission when she took over in 1978 and b and became the mayor of san francisco. it was. it's still of the time. it's hard. it's hard to believe. but if it's true, when it was not easy for women and politics was not easy for women. and in the in the business world, it's that easy period. and she was there there. one of the most important cities in america still, i believe one of the most important c ties throughout america and she was leading it. they're at and representing. and then you go on to the senate when there are very few women senators in 1992, and she led that wave, including barbara boxer and so many others and started to change the complexion of how that end. while she led and she was a leader in women's issues, just a lid issues that concerned all of american families. i think the assault

weapons ban, especially it's something that people should remember for becaus deaths by assault weapons went down dramatically when the assault weapons ban was in place and then we see what happened in east lansing. we see what happened. pulse nightclub, all these all these horrible, terrible places, even their own backyard. half moon bay and others. you know, this is what we took a leadership check. the courage made it happen and we need that kind again in the united states we needed to get in the government we need. we need it more in our local, you know, local towns and communities because the kind of example that she represented just go up against entrenched forces. the nra was 20 times more powerful back then the need is even now. that you want. >> what do you make of how she's going about this, though? i mean, she could have chosen to step down and let governor gavin newsom pick a replacement, which ed, you know, people thought she might do that instead, she's kind of choosing to go out on her own terms. as you talked about.

how do you think that kind of speaks to the whole situation here? i think it's i think it's her prerogative. look. there are of men in the united states senate serve a long period of time and no one. >> no one. asked them to retire early. yes, can can nation nation lost a step or 2? i don't know. we've heard these rumors are for an 8 people. talk about it. the fact is she is she is there. she's a voice. she's a consistent throw. it. and and i think it's it's her prerogative. i think there's a certain decision to the site. how would she goes on a big king taking this step right now is certainly courageous. she's basically take yourself out of politics for the rest her life. but i think doing it on her own terms is perfectly fine and we should be. great culture. leadership. thankful for what she's accomplished and give her the benefit of the doubt, letting her choose

the time and manner of her retirement from the united states senate. >> so michael, now, of course, we talked about the people that are, you know, possibly going to be replacing her. katie porter and adam schiff. those are 2 names that have been floated. what do you think this does to kind of change now the tenor of this race now that we know that she's going to be getting out and that they are going to be jumping in and maybe others. what do you what are you kind of predict is going to be happening now as we go over the next couple of months now that that announcement been made. >> well, i think that it it really does or to clear the field you had the sort of stem i know some might full but semi endorsement to it even speak. former speaker pelosi endorsed adam schiff only senator feinstein did was getting out of the race. now it can be no pretty clearly. that is that she is for adam schiff, 100%. i'm katie porter. everyone can sort of now consider this an open field. can talk about the issues that worry about whether it's a slight or dig at at at the current senator and not because she's not in

the race so they can talk about all the issues fully robustly. i think we're going to see that happen. and, you know, it's going to be munich. spencer race in california over the next year and a half. yeah. >> no doubt about that. i think you're right about that will thank you as always. it's great to get your perspective, michael and i'm sure we'll be back in touch as we'll be watching this unfold to. thanks so much for joining us today at noon, al. all right. well, new at noon, we're going to move on our next story. an investigation is underway after a fire tore through 2 homes in san jose kron four's charles clifford is live at the scene charles. do we know kind of how this unfolded yet or what happened here? >> well, not yet. so right now i'm standing along madison avenue here in san jose, the san jose fire department just cleared the scene a few minutes this is following a mid morning fire that has destroyed one home and forced the family out. just before 08:00am tuesday. the san jose
