History

Historical Context

The 1992 Senate elections, dubbed the “Year of the Woman,” saw four Democratic women—including Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer—win seats, giving California the nation’s first dual-female Senate delegation on Jan 3 1993. Kamala Harris’s 2024 midterm swing-state tour invokes that breakthrough, aiming to flip a Mississippi seat and echo the 1992 shift for the Senate’s democratic balance.
