Two House Democrats are calling on a member of their own party to resign from her Senate seat before the term ends. Reps. Ro Khanna of California and Dean Phillips of Minnesota say Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., needs to step down. They claim the 89-year-old Feinstein, who has been in the Senate since 1992, can no longer fulfill the duties of her office.
She has been on a leave from the Senate since early March, when she was hospitalized for shingles. Feinstein has since been recovering at home. The pushback comes as Feinstein’s prolonged absence from the Senate has delayed President Joe Biden’s judicial nominations in the chamber narrowly held by Democrats.
