"Sen. Feinstein Returns to Senate with Lighter Schedule After Health Issues"

California Senator Dianne Feinstein returned to the Senate after a months-long absence due to shingles, but her return was punctuated with calls for her resignation. Feinstein, who is 89 years old, said she would work a lighter schedule due to lingering side effects from the virus. Her absence has left the Senate Judiciary Committee evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, making it difficult for President Joe Biden's judicial nominees to advance. Feinstein has announced that she will not run for another term in 2024 but has not indicated any plans to resign before then.
