Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California experienced a minor fall in her home, which led to a short hospitalization as a precautionary measure. Thankfully, all scans came back clear and she has since returned home. Although the fall was described as a minor slip that did not involve steps or stairs, Feinstein, who is 90 years old, was taken to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. Despite the incident, she remains in good spirits and even joked that she didn’t need a Band-aid. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confirmed that he spoke with Feinstein and reassured the public that she suffered no injuries and is now doing well. Concerns for Feinstein’s health have been mounting after her previous hospitalization for shingles, which resulted in complications like Ramsay Hunt syndrome and encephalitis. However, Feinstein has disputed the length of her absence and her diagnoses, claiming that her condition was misdiagnosed and likening it to a bad flu. Her health issues have been apparent in recent public appearances, including instances where she needed assistance and reminders to cast votes. Some House Democrats have called for her resignation, citing her absence from the Senate Judiciary Committee and the impact it has had on the process of confirming judicial nominees. However, others acknowledge her long and successful career while emphasizing the importance of competency and the ability to fulfill the responsibilities of the job. Ultimately, the decision regarding her resignation will likely be made by those closest to her, senators, and the people of California.
