Calls for Dianne Feinstein's Resignation Grow Amid Controversy

The New York Times Editorial Board has called on Senator Dianne Feinstein to resign from the Senate if she continues to remain sidelined from Senate business due to her ongoing battle with shingles. Feinstein's absence has been most acute on the Senate Judiciary Committee where her absence has left Democrats at a 10/10 split and without its usual majority. Her decision not to seek reelection came after years where she has rolled back her responsibilities, having stepped aside as the leading Democrat on the Judiciary Committee after she was criticized for her handling of Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination.
