Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said Sunday that fellow Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein “made the right decision” by temporarily relinquishing her seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee to another Democrat during her prolonged leave of medical absence.
Democrats on the panel have been without the votes to advance President Biden’s judicial nominees since Ms. Feinstein’s absence began in February after the 89-year-old was diagnosed with shingles.
