Senator Dianne Feinstein may have needed more time to recover.
After missing 91 votes due to a nasty case of shingles, Golden State Senator Dianne Feinstein made her way back to the Senate on Wednesday; she rode in a wheelchair and seemed slightly confused.
From The Blaze:
“Where am I going?” she asked her handlers wearily, reported the Huffington Post.
After saying, “Hi everybody,” Feinstein proceeded to cast her first two votes since Feb. 16, helping Glenna Wright-Gallo secure the position of assistant education secretary.
Despite technically being back in the game, NBC News reported that Feinstein still managed to miss two votes on her first day back.
A statement attributed to her said, “I have returned to Washington and am prepared to resume my duties in the Senate. I’m grateful for all the well-wishes over the past couple of months and for the excellent care that I received from my medical team in San Francisco.”
Feinstein indicated that notwithstanding unresolved “side effects” affecting her vision and balance, as well as advice from her doctors to adopt a “lighter schedule,” she was looking forward to resuming her work on the Judiciary Committee.

Feinstein has been facing calls from her own party to resign, including from squad member AOC.
