Feinstein, 85, was expected to cruise to victory in her fight for a sixth Senate term despite frustration from the liberal wing of the party — including the Democratic leadership in her state that endorsed de Leon — that her old-school collegiality is out of touch for the Trump era.

She’s dismissed the criticism from de Leon, telling The New York Times days before the midterm that “I’m so substantially ahead I don’t pay any attention to him.”

Feinstein led in most polls heading into Tuesday by double digits, though her support has remained below 50 percent for months.

Feinstein, running what is likely her final Senate campaign, has raised more than $19 million for her campaign, but, underscoring her lock on reelection, outside groups have spent less than $900,000 total in the race compared to the tens of millions being funneled into battleground states.
