Calls for Senator Feinstein's Resignation Spark Controversy and Party Pressure.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the oldest member of Congress, has asked to be temporarily replaced on the Judiciary Committee due to medical complications from shingles. Feinstein's absence could slow down the committee's work, which has set a goal of surpassing the number of federal judges confirmed under former President Trump. Several Democrats have called on her to resign before her term is up, including California Rep. Ro Khanna. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will ask the Senate to allow another Democratic senator to temporarily serve on the Judiciary Committee.
