The New York Times editorial board demanded Chuck Schumer to increase public pressure on Sen. Dianne Feinstein to resign and said her 'absence is a failure.'
"In the Senate, that task falls to Mr. Schumer and his leadership colleagues.

Ro Khanna, D-Calif.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., also called for the senator's resignation as several judicial nominations are pending in the Senate. "Her refusal to either retire or show up is causing great harm to the judiciary – precisely where repro rights are getting stripped," Ocasio-Cortez said during an interview."That failure means now in this precious window Dems can only pass GOP-approved nominees."
