<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) joined a small but growing chorus of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrats</a> in Congress publicly saying Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dianne-feinstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dianne Feinstein</a> (D-CA) should retire.</p>
<p>The high-profile congresswoman, who is also known as &#8220;AOC&#8221; for short, shared her view on the Bluesky social media app, raising concerns about the Senate Judiciary Committee&#8217;s struggle to advance judicial nominees with Feinstein away from Capitol Hill for so long while contending with health issues.</p>
<p>Feinstein &#8220;should retire. I think criticisms of that stance as ‘anti-feminist’ are a farce,” Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1653208670002618369" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post</a>. “Her refusal to either retire or show up is causing great harm to the judiciary — precisely where [reproductive] rights are getting stripped. That failure means now in this precious window Dems can only pass GOP-approved nominees.&#8221;</p>

<p>At the age of 89, Feinstein is the Senate’s oldest member, and in recent years, some colleagues have raised concerns about her mental fitness. Feinstein <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dianne-feinstein-not-running-for-re-election-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced in February</a> she would not seek re-election in 2024. Three prominent House Democrats — Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/barbara-lee-announces-bid-for-dianne-feinsteins-senate-seat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbara Lee</a> — have announced campaigns to replace Feinstein in the Senate.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dianne-feinstein-hospitalized-in-san-francisco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">early March</a>, Feinstein announced she had been hospitalized in San Francisco after being diagnosed with a case of shingles. Though Feinstein said she hoped to return to the Senate by the end of the month, that didn&#8217;t happen, leading to calls by some Democrats for her to step down.</p>
<p>Among those who have fired back at the demands for Feinstein to resign is former House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ro-khanna-slams-nancy-pelosi-over-claim-that-call-for-feinstein-resignation-is-sexist?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_campaign=conservnewsd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)</a>, who suggested such talk is rooted in sexism. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-democrat-congressman-calls-for-dianne-feinstein-to-resign-immediately-can-no-longer-fulfill-her-duties" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA),</a> one of the Democrats who urged Feinstein to resign, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ro-khanna-slams-nancy-pelosi-over-claim-that-call-for-feinstein-resignation-is-sexist?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_campaign=conservnewsd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> the gender-focused rebuttal by saying the issue &#8220;has nothing to do with gender,&#8221; but rather about officials doing the jobs they were elected to do.</p>

<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has stuck by Feinstein, even after Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-gop-blocks-dem-bid-to-replace-feinstein-on-judiciary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blocked a bid</a> to replace her on the Judiciary Committee last month.

<p>CNN&#8217;s Manu Raju <a href="https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1653503160667852802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> that a Feinstein spokesperson said: &#8220;Sen.
