Jeopardy Final Answer for September 24
The correct answer for the final Jeopardy on September 24, 2024 is “Who is Dianne Feinstein?”
Before becoming a U.S. senator from California, Dianne Feinstein served as president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1978. When Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone were shot dead, she was the one who announced the news to reporters. Feinstein immediately became the city's mayor.
As he pointed out CBS NewsFeinstein was the one who discovered Milk's body at City Hall, which partly explains why she was in shock. She said the shooter, Supervisor Dan White, told her over the phone that he didn't think Milk would reappoint him.
Considering this clue is a bit obscure, we hope contestants have seen the movie Milk, in which Sean Penn played the title character and won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2007.
