Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has been hospitalized with a case of shingles, her workplace stated in a press release Thursday.
“I used to be recognized over the Feb recess with a case of the shingles,” she stated. “I've been hospitalized & am receiving therapy in San Francisco & count on to make a full restoration. I hope to return to the Senate later this month.”
Feinstein, 89, is the oldest member of Congress. Her workplace stated earlier Wednesday that she was in California to cope with a “well being matter” and hoped to return to Washington quickly. Democrats, who maintain a slim 51-49 majority within the Senate, at the moment are confronted with two absences as Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) is being handled for scientific despair.
She introduced she would retire from the Senate on the finish of her present time period in 2024, marking greater than three a long time within the chamber. A number of outstanding lawmakers have introduced their bids for her seat, together with Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.
