Sen. Feinstein was traveling back to Washington D.C. after prolonged absence due to shingles that led to criticism she was holding up the Democrats’ agenda, which she disputed.
After being sidelined for months by a bout of shingles and facing mounting pressure from fellow Democrats to get back to work soon or resign, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein was traveling Tuesday back to work at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Feinstein’s press secretary, Adam Russell, confirmed Wednesday she was traveling back to Washington to resume her Senate duties but had no further comment or statement. Feinstein had posted no update on her situation on her social media accounts. The San Francisco Chronicle, citing unnamed “sources close to the senator,” said Feinstein had “boarded a chartered private plane Tuesday” on her way back to Washington.
Feinstein in early March said she’d been hospitalized for shingles, a painful viral rash that can strike older adults who’ve had chickenpox. On March 7, she said she was recovering at home and looked forward to returning to the Senate “as soon as possible.”or resign and allow Gov. Gavin Newsom to appoint a Democratic replacement.
