Her press secretary, Adam Russell, confirmed the news.<\/p>\n<h3>Democrats Welcome Feinstein&#8217;s Return<\/h3>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) gave a statement regarding the veteran senator\u2019s return, saying, \u201cI\u2019m glad that my friend Dianne is back in the Senate and ready to roll up her sleeves and get to work. After talking with her multiple times over the past few weeks, it\u2019s clear she\u2019s back where she wants to be and ready to deliver for California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein&#8217;s absence had delayed the party\u2019s ability to get ahead, resulting in the inability to advance some of President Joe Biden\u2019s judicial nominees without her presence. House Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) had called on her to step down, citing the federal judiciary being harmed if she does not step down.<\/p>\n<h3>Feinstein Claps Back at Critics<\/h3>\n<p>Feinstein clapped back at her critics, saying, \u201cThere has been no slowdown.\u201d The nomination of Julie Su as secretary of labor as well as several judicial appointments had been delayed due to Feinstein\u2019s absence in the closely divided Senate.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Feinstein was hospitalized for shingles, a painful viral rash. On March 7th, she said she was recovering at home and looked forward to returning to the Senate \u201cas soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) came to Feinstein\u2019s defense in April following initial backlash for the 89-year-old\u2019s absence, saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know what political agendas are at work that are going after Sen. Feinstein in that way. I\u2019ve never seen them go after a man who was sick in the Senate in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of next year, Feinstein is set to retire.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Informed<\/h3>\n<p>Stay informed!
