<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dianne-feinstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dianne Feinstein</a> (D-CA) is returning to Capitol Hill, according to her office, signaling an end to a months-long absence due to health reasons that spurred calls for the lawmaker to resign.</p>
<p>A spokesperson <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/dianne-feinstein-senate-return-18088690.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the San Francisco Chronicle</a> that Feinstein is on her way back to Washington and could return to the Senate as early as Tuesday night.</p>
<p>The news comes at a critical moment in the fight between Democrats and Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/debt-ceiling-battle-lines-drawn-ahead-of-white-house-meeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over the debt ceiling</a>, with officials warning of a possible default happening as early as next month without a deal. The White House scheduled a meeting with congressional leaders for Tuesday.</p>
<p>Feinstein announced in early March that she had been diagnosed with shingles and has been recovering ever since. Because Feinstein is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, her absence resulted in a <a href="https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10-10</a> split along party lines that rendered the panel unable to advance some of President Joe Biden’s nominees to federal courts around the nation.</p>
<p>While Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has stuck by Feinstein, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-says-dianne-feinstein-should-resign-calls-anti-feminist-criticisms-a-farce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small but growing number of Democrats</a> have been publicly calling for her to resign, including Reps. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) and <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">Ro Khanna (D-CA)</a>. The New York Times editorial board <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/05/opinion/dianne-feinstein-senate.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently piled on</a>, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-york-times-editorial-board-calls-sen-feinstein-resign-absence-failure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying Feinstein&#8217;s absence</a> was &#8220;a failure that deprives American voters of full representation on legislation and appointments that will affect them for decades to come.&#8221;</p>
<p>Though Republicans kept the pressure going by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-gop-blocks-dem-bid-to-replace-feinstein-on-judiciary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blocking a bid</a> to replace Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee, Feinstein released <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dianne-feinstein-releases-new-statement-on-her-absence-from-the-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a statement</a> last week that argued that there &#8220;has been no slowdown&#8221; with judicial nominees. Still, Feinstein said she was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; that Republicans on the committee have been blocking a few nominees from moving forward. Feinstein said she expected them to advance &#8220;quickly&#8221; upon her return.</p>
<p>At the age of 89, Feinstein is the Senate’s oldest member, and in recent years, some colleagues had already begun to <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/dianne-feinstein-senate-17079487.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raise concerns</a> 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>
