Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 89, insisted on Wednesday that she intends to return to the Senate “as soon as possible” after two House Democrats called for her immediate resignation, arguing that she can “no longer fulfill her duties.”
“When I was first diagnosed with shingles, I expected to return by the end of the March work period. Unfortunately, my return to Washington has been delayed due to continued complications related to my diagnosis,” the California Democrat said in a statement.
“I intend to return as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it’s safe for me to travel. In the meantime, I remain committed to the job and will continue to work from home in San Francisco,” she added.
