Bullshit.
Godspeed, Ms. Feinstein. I hope dying at the office was worth it.

The article notes that Senators dying in office used to be more common, but has become rare these days.
Thatโs 10 sitting senators who died in office, all in the 65th Congress. This was before the admission of Alaska and Hawaii, so it was 10 of 96 senators, more than 10 percent of the total. And while this toll was exceptional, it wasnโt an aberration. An average of six senators died during each two-year period in the 58th to 62nd Congresses.
.
This is no longer common. The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Friday marked the first death of a senator in office since the passing of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2018, according to the Senate historian. Before that, the most recent such death was that of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) in 2013. In other words, over the past 10 years, only Feinstein and McCain have died in office.
