Sen. Dianne Feinstein is returning to Congress, ending a more than two-month absence due to illness, her office confirmed Tuesday.
Feinstein, 89, hasn’t voted since mid-February after being diagnosed and briefly hospitalized with shingles. She was traveling back to Washington as of Tuesday afternoon, according to a Democratic Senate aide.
Several lawmakers had called for the California Democrat’s resignation as her absence grew longer, saying it had stymied the Senate’s process for approving President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees.
