The Feinstein Dilemma: Balancing Health and Career in Politics.
TL;DR Summary
Senator Jack Reed has stated that Senator Dianne Feinstein deserves the opportunity to make a decision about her career as she faces scrutiny over her health and calls from some lawmakers to resign from her upper chamber seat. Feinstein, who is the oldest sitting senator at 89, returned to the Senate earlier this month after a bout with shingles spurred a prolonged absence from Capitol Hill since February. Reed referred to the late South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond, who was 100 years old when he retired, and said that Feinstein should consider and make a decision.
