If your boss retires, you’re out of a job. Pretty sure Feinsteins top staffer is Pelosi’s niece (maybe daughter?) And I doubt she’d have trouble finding a job, but most have a financial incentive to keep their boss in office for as long as possible.
Direct incentive yes but it’s to the overall detriment to their position in life at this point. Aren’t Feinstein and Pelosi in solid blue districts? There’s little risk to “losing” the seat.
And I was adding the nuance that keeping the dinosaurs in office past there effectiveness is more likely a net loss in the end. They just can’t/won’t see past the immediate benefit of keeping a job.
Staffers work for the person, not the office.

What?
If another person replaced a politician (even if it’s the same party) the staffers will likely all lose their jobs.
These aren’t merit based positions, they’re usually returns for “favors” so they’re attached to the person not office.
I hope it made more sense that time.

Sir/Madam this is America. We do not consider anything past short term profit
