59% : In addition, Feinstein championed federal protections for same-sex marriage, was an early leader on HIV/AIDS, fought for reproductive rights and played an important role in safeguarding California's public lands, among other accomplishments over her more than three decades in the Senate and more than five decades of public service.
51% : Feinstein lay in state in San Francisco City Hall, where Pelosi will speak Thursday, as will Vice President Kamala Harris, who is also from California, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.The country is nonetheless in mourning over the passing of a great lawmaker.
50% : "The fact that she was missing in action for so long, that part of her last year has simply dominated coverage of her," he said.
49% : But the event will be more lowkey than if Feinstein had lain in state in the Capitol, an honor not yet given to a female member of the House or Senate.
36% : Alaska's Don Young, who was the longest-serving Republican in the history of the U.S. House when he died in 2022, was the most recent lawmaker to lay in state under the Capitol Rotunda.Decisions about how a dignitary is memorialized after their passing are deeply personal ones for families.
