BREAKING Sen. Dianne Feinstein will return to Capitol Hill after 3-month absence, office confirms
Her nonattendance in the Senate, which impacted some of President Joe Biden's judicial nominees, spurred debate within her own party about whether she should resign.
But others, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, came to Feinstein's defense, saying she was being unfairly singled out. Feinstein issued a statement last week expressing confidence that judicial nominees who have stalled in committee will be confirmed upon her return. Last month, Senate Republicans blocked a request by Democrats to temporarily replace Feinstein on the judiciary panel while she recovered.
