TL;DR Summary

Some California Democrats are expressing concern about Senator Dianne Feinstein's ability to represent the state after seeing her return to Washington in a wheelchair and still weak after a nearly three-month absence from the Senate due to shingles. While some argue that calls for her to step down earlier are rooted in misogyny and ageism, others are worried about her declining mental and physical capabilities. Feinstein has already announced that she would not seek another term, but some Democrats are calling for her to resign early. The Democrats running to replace her in 2024, Reps. Barbara Lee and Katie Porter, both wished her well.
