Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls for Sen. Dianne Feinstein to Retire<\/h2>\n<p>Joining a growing number of Democrats in Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has publicly called for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to retire. In a post on the Bluesky social media app, Ocasio-Cortez expressed concerns about the Senate Judiciary Committee&#8217;s inability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-says-dianne-feinstein-should-resign-calls-anti-feminist-criticisms-a-farce\/\" title=\"AOC wants Feinstein to quit, dismisses 'anti-feminist' attacks as fake.\">advance judicial nominees<\/a> with Feinstein away from Capitol Hill for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pro-wrestling-star-jay-briscoe-dead-at-age-38\/\" title=\"Pro Wrestling Star \u201cJay Briscoe\u201d, Dead at age 38\">extended period due<\/a> to health issues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Feinstein &#8216;should retire.

In February, she announced that she would not seek re-election in 2024. Three prominent House Democrats have already announced campaigns to replace her in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>In early March, Feinstein was hospitalized in San Francisco after being diagnosed with shingles. Although she hoped to return to the Senate by the end of the month, that did not happen, leading some Democrats to call for her resignation.<\/p>\n<h3>Pushback from Pelosi and Schumer<\/h3>\n<p>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has pushed back against calls for Feinstein&#8217;s resignation, suggesting that such talk is rooted in sexism. However, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who also urged Feinstein to resign, dismissed the gender-focused rebuttal, saying the issue &#8220;has nothing to do with gender,&#8221; but rather officials doing the jobs they were elected to do.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has stood by Feinstein, even after Republicans blocked a bid to replace her on the Judiciary Committee last month. A photo captured by a POLITICO photographer showed that Schumer held notes on Tuesday that said he and Feinstein were &#8220;hopeful&#8221; that Feinstein could return next week.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Feinstein spox: \u201cSen.
