California Sen. Dianne Feinstein is returning to the Senate after a nearly three-month absence due to health problems.
[...]
Feinstein’s absence complicated her party’s efforts to confirm some of President Joe Biden's nominees. Her absence was most pronounced on the Judiciary Committee, where an 11-10 majority became a 10-10 stalemate — frustrating Democratic efforts to confirm some judges and scuttling any plans to issue subpoenas on a party-line vote.
[...]
Feinstein later disputed that her absence had in any way limited the number of nominees advanced by the committee.
[...]
While Feinstein was sidelined, Senate Republicans were able to pass a measure that aims to overturn new air pollution standards in a 50-49 vote, with the help of Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. President Biden is expected to veto it.
