Dianne Feinstein&#8217;s Health Issues Raise Concerns<\/h2>\n<h3>Has She Forgotten?<\/h3>\n<p>Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), 89, appears to have forgotten that she spent the last three months in California recovering from shingles. &#8220;No, I haven\u2019t been gone,&#8221; she told reporters on Tuesday after being asked how her colleagues have treated her since she returned to the Senate last week.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein had been recovering at home since her diagnosis in February and returned to the Capitol in a wheelchair, with her hand visibly trembling and her eyes bloodshot, the Huffington Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>A reporter asked whether she meant she had worked from home, to which the senator said &#8220;no.&#8221; &#8220;No, I\u2019ve been here. I\u2019ve been voting,&#8221; Feinstein replied. &#8220;Please. You either know or don\u2019t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Problem for Senate Democrats<\/h3>\n<p>Feinstein&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-adds-bitcoin-to-his-twitter-bio-bitcoin-surges-by-20\/\" title=\"Elon Musk Adds \u2018#bitcoin\u2019 To His Twitter Bio, Bitcoin Surges By 20%\">health issues<\/a> are a problem for Senate Democrats, especially on the Judiciary Committee, where her vote is necessary to approve White House judicial nominees. Her prolonged absence led some Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), to call for her resignation. Feinstein defied the calls and is back in Washington, D.C., albeit working a lighter schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein said in February that she will retire after this term but then appeared to soon forget she had made the announcement.<\/p>\n<h3>Confusing One Black Senator for Another<\/h3>\n<p>Tuesday&#8217;s exchange comes after a new book detailed how Feinstein confused one black senator for another. In 2021, she approached Sen. Tim Scott (R., S.C.), who has been in the Senate since 2013, and &#8220;stuck out her hand, and told him she had been rooting for him and was so happy to have him serving with her in the Senate.&#8221; Scott and his team said that &#8220;Feinstein had mistaken the South Carolinian for Raphael Warnock, the newly elected Democratic senator from Georgia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns About President Joe Biden&#8217;s Mental Health<\/h3>\n<p>Eighty-year-old President Joe Biden also faces concerns about his mental health. Frequent verbal slip-ups and stumbles have led a chunk of Democratic voters to have little faith in his ability to carry out a second term\u2014at the end of which he would be 86 years old.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sen.
