Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office disclosed Tuesday that she is returning to Washington following an absence of more than two months
Sen. Dianne Feinstein leaves the Senate Chamber following a vote at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023 in Washington, DC.May 9, 2023 4:59 PM EDT
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confirmed Feinstein’s return in a statement and said he was pleased “my friend Dianne is back in the Senate and ready to roll up her sleeves and get to work.” California Rep. Ro Khanna, a progressive, was the first to call for Feinstein to resign, saying in mid-April: “This is a moment of crisis for women’s rights and voting rights. It’s unacceptable to have Sen. Feinstein miss vote after vote to confirm judges who will uphold reproductive rights.”
Given her age and health problems, Feinstein is likely to face continued questions about her ability to serve.
