The San Francisco Chronicle confirmed that Sen. Dianne Feinstein went to the hospital after she fell at her home.
Feinstein’s spokesman said the 90-year-old senator only spent an hour or two at the hospital.
Feinstein is in San Francisco because she was supposed “to attend an anniversary event” for the city’s cable cars on August 2nd. She missed it due to a cough.
I hope Feinstein’s okay.
But the fall, even if minor, will likely lead to louder calls for Feinstein to resign. However, Sen. Whitehouse said she shouldn’t resign because the Senate needs to confirm judges.
Feinstein spent three months away from the Senate due to shingles. She returned to the chamber in a wheelchair and needed help.
The senator has been relying a lot on her staff. A recent video showed her confused and needing help from an aide to vote in a committee meeting.
Feinstein already said she won’t run for reelection in 2025. She’ll be 92 years old by then.
