Calls for the resignation of Sen. Dianne Feinstein grow louder as her absence from Congress hampers the confirmation of President Joe Biden's judicial picks. Feinstein, the oldest-serving member of the Senate, has missed 60 of the 82 votes taken in the Senate so far in 2023 due to her hospitalization and health issues. Sen. Ro Khanna, Democrat of California, urged Feinstein to resign as her absence from Congress undermines the credibility of elected representatives of the people. Meanwhile, ex-speechwriter for former President Barack Obama and co-founder of the progressive media company Crooked Media, Jon Lovett, called on Feinstein to resign immediately as her absence is preventing Democrats from confirming judges. Feinstein's office has not released any statement regarding these calls for resignation. The political turmoil takes place as Democrats gear up for a competitive primary race for Feinstein's seat in 2024.
