7. Upon Barbara Mikulski's retirement in January 2017, Feinstein became the longest-tenured female

U.S. senator currently serving. Should she serve through November 5, 2022, Feinstein will become the longest-serving woman in U.S. Senate history. . .

In January 2021, Feinstein filed the initial Federal Election Commission paperwork needed to seek reelection in 2024, when she will be 91.[9] Her staff later clarified that this was due to election law technicalities, and did not indicate her intentions in 2024.[10]

Patty Murray would be next. I read all about it here;

3. The president pro tempore (or, "president for a time") is elected by the Senate and is,

by custom, the senator of the majority party with the longest record of continuous service.
