Nancy Pelosi's Daughter Cares for Absent Feinstein Amid Growing Concerns.
Nancy Carinne Prowda, daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been playing a critical role in helping to take care of ailing Senator Dianne Feinstein, both in Washington and San Francisco. Prowda has been accompanying Feinstein around Capitol Hill and helping aides surround the senator in a Capitol hallway. The arrangement has raised uncomfortable questions about whether Pelosi's political interests are in conflict with Feinstein's personal interests, particularly regarding the future of Feinstein's seat. Pelosi has endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff to succeed Feinstein after her sixth and final term ends next year, but if Feinstein were to retire early, Schiff's advantage could disappear.
