0:34Now PlayingDemocratic Senator Dianne Feinstein returned to the Capitol Wednesday, navigating the building in a wheelchair and voting for the first time in nearly three months.
The 89-year-old lawmaker’s extended absence while recovering from shingles stalled a handful of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees and prompted calls by several prominent progressives for her resignation.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer greeted Feinstein outside the Capitol as she was driven up in a silver Lexus and fellow Democrats offered handshakes when an aide wheeled her onto the Senate floor for a vote to confirm an Education Department official.
The California senator cautioned in statement emailed to reporters that she would likely have to reduce her workload for the time being. Feinstein is experiencing some side effects from shingles that have affected her vision and balance, according to her statement.
