Sen. Feinstein attends her first Judiciary Committee meeting since she was diagnosed with shingles in February.
But on Thursday, some Democrats were relieved they could hit the gas again on Biden's nominees without needing GOP support.
“She’s returned to the Senate. I’m excited about that. The Senate was getting a lot of work done. A lot of judiciary nominees have been passing through the Senate,” Booker said. “So, it’s great that she’s back. She is somebody that I’ve leaned on in my 10 years here as an incredible confidant and mentor.”
Feinstein, 89, was pushed into the committee room in a wheelchair and did not respond to shouted questions by reporters.
