WASHINGTON — Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said she is at home recuperating after a brief stay in a San Francisco hospital where she was treated for a case of shingles.
“I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and the hospital staff for providing excellent care,” Feinstein said in a tweet. “I’m recovering at home now while I continue receiving treatment and look forward to returning to the Senate as soon as possible.”
The 89-year-old has missed votes for more than a week, complicating matters for Senate Democrats who control the chamber with just a one-vote majority. Another Democratic senator, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, also is away while receiving in-patient care for clinical depression.
