Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) \/ mtc.ca.gov<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) accused her fellow Democrats of being sexist for urging 89-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) to resign. According to Pelosi&#8217;s statements to KPIX, Feinstein &#8220;deserves the respect to get well and to be back on duty.&#8221; Pelosi seemed unsure about the political motivations behind her fellow party members&#8217; urging for Feinstein&#8217;s resignation, stating &#8220;I\u2019ve never seen them go after a man who was sick in the Senate in that way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The California senator has been fighting a case of shingles for some time now, leading to calls for her to resign, and putting Biden&#8217;s judicial nominations in jeopardy. On the same day Pelosi made her accusations, Politico reported that &#8220;multiple Democrats&#8221; were becoming increasingly concerned that Feinstein may never return to Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Before her shingles diagnosis, Feinstein was already in poor health, with three Senate Democrats stating last year that she is &#8220;too cognitively impaired to serve out her term.&#8221; Feinstein announced in February that she would retire at the end of her term, but then forgot about the announcement hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Progressive congressman Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) publicly declared on Wednesday that Feinstein should resign.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein&#8217;s resignation would pose a challenge for California Governor Gavin Newsom (D.), who would have to appoint the senator&#8217;s temporary replacement. Newsom has expressed interest in naming a black woman to the position with Rep. Barbara Lee being the only black female Democrat running for the spot but is widely regarded as unpopular.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Pelosi&#8217;s comments shed light on disagreement among Democrats regarding Feinstein&#8217;s replacement, with Khanna and other progressives calling for Lee, while Pelosi and other &#8220;largely San Francisco-based establishment Democrats&#8221; are supporting Rep. Adam Schiff, according to Politico.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein has since requested to step down from the Senate Judiciary Committee, but did not specify when she will return, Politico reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
