Democrats divided over Feinstein's future in Senate.

A new poll by The Economist/YouGov found that 65% of Americans, including 64% of Democrats, believe that Sen. Dianne Feinstein should resign due to her prolonged absence from the Senate due to her health. The calls for her resignation have raised concerns of a double standard among male and female lawmakers from critics, as other male lawmakers have also taken leaves of absence due to their health. Feinstein requested a replacement for her seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, as her absence has prevented judicial nominations from moving forward.
