Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office confirms the California Democrat will return to the Senate Tuesday evening after a prolonged absence as she recovered from shingles.
Feinstein, 89, last voted in mid-February, and several Democrats recently called on her to resign before her term is up, including California Rep. Ro Khanna.
Her absence was severely noted in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has set a goal of surpassing the number of federal judges confirmed under former President Trump.
