Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Dianne Feinstein, California's senior U.S. senator, has been a loyal backer of Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential bid. But Feinstein, after Clinton lost North Carolina by a wide margin and squeaked out a win in Indiana, is asking the New York senator to explain her path to victory in the Democratic primary.

“I, as you know, have great fondness and great respect for Sen. Clinton and I’m very loyal to her,” Feinstein told The Hill, a Washington D.C. newspaper. “Having said that, I’d like to talk with her and [get] her view on the rest of the race and what the strategy is.”

“I think the race is reaching the point now where there are negative dividends from it, in terms of strife within the party,” Feinstein said. “I think we need to prevent that as much as we can.”
