Increasing pressure for Diane Feinstein’s resignation
After it was announced that Senator Diane Feinstein’s medical leave has been extended, and she will not be returning to the Senate floor for now, some of her fellow party members have called for her resignation so that, according to them, this crucial Democratic seat does not remain vacant.
These pressures are particularly due to Diane Feinstein’s presence in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is responsible for selecting and confirming judges in the US judicial system.
Democrats hold a majority in the Senate with 51 seats against the Republicans’ 49 seats, but Diane Feinstein’s absence, as the senior senator from California, has jeopardized this majority in voting, especially in the congressional judiciary committee.
89-year-old Diane Feinstein had previously announced that she does not intend to participate in the elections and retain her seat, but she still has about 2 years left in her current term in the Senate.
