.RepRoKhanna renewed calls for SenFeinstein to resign following a floor vote in which her absence gave the GOP an opening to overturn a Biden administration emissions rule. Some Democrats say Feinstein being present would have tanked the GOP effort.
Khanna’s comments come after the Senate on Wednesday narrowly voted to cancel an Environmental Protection Agency mandate that sought to tighten regulations on nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted from heavy-duty vehicles. The resolution passed after Sen. Joe Manchin joined Republicans in a 50-49 vote, angering some Democrats who say Feinstein being present would have tanked the GOP effort.
Feinstein has been absent from the Senate since Feb. 27 after being diagnosed with shingles, prompting calls from some Democrats for the California senator to step down so the party can advance its legislative priorities. Khanna was the first lawmaker to call on Feinstein to resign earlier this month, lamenting that her absence has made it increasingly difficult to confirm President Joe Biden’s judicial nominations.
At 89 years old, Feinstein is the oldest member of Congress and is set to retire from her three-decade tenure at the end of her term. Her retirement has already attracted a crowded field of Democrats hoping to replace her as they seek to hold on to their slim majority in the Senate.
