Even The New York Times is calling for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to resign following health concerns that have kept her out of the Senate for weeks.
“If she cannot fulfill her obligations to the Senate and her constituents, she should resign and turn over her responsibilities to an appointed successor,” the board wrote, adding that if Feinstein, 89, can’t make that decision on her own, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats should “make it clear to her and the public” that she must step down.
“Under the circumstances, Mr. Schumer should turn up the public pressure on her to return or resign, setting aside the antique Senate gentility that can hobble common-sense decision-making there,” it added.
