Feinstein Requests Temporary Replacement on Judiciary Committee Amid Resignation Calls.

California Senator Dianne Feinstein has requested to be temporarily replaced on the Judiciary Committee due to complications from her recovery from shingles. This comes after two House Democrats called for her resignation, citing her extended absence from Washington and its impact on Democratic efforts to confirm President Joe Biden’s nominees for federal courts in a narrowly divided chamber. Feinstein, who is the oldest member of Congress at 89, has faced questions about her cognitive health and memory in recent years. She announced in February that she would not seek reelection in 2024.
