Sen. Dianne Feinstein is headed back to Washington on Tuesday evening after spending a week away in San Francisco while her husband was hospitalized.
The California Democrat’s return comes as Congress continues to look for a solution for keeping the government open and raising the debt limit ahead of Thursday’s federal funding deadline. Republicans blocked Democratic efforts on Monday — a vote Feinstein missed.
“Senator Feinstein is returning to Washington this evening after staying in San Francisco while her husband was hospitalized,” a Feinstein spokesperson said in a statement to POLITICO. “Her husband is now recovering at home.”
The Hill was the first to note Feinstein’s absence on Monday. A spokesperson said it was a “family medical emergency,” adding that the senator would have voted with Democrats on Monday.
“The senator is carefully following the vote situation in the Senate and will return to Washington as soon as possible,” Hill reporter Jordain Carney tweeted on Monday, relaying a message from Feinstein’s team.
Feinstein voted last on Sept. 14, before the Senate took several days off. She has missed all votes since the chamber reconvened on Sept. 20.

The evil live long and prosper. It’s a mystery but the Bible states over and over that it doesn’t end well for them.
She is, they're just keeping her "alive" as long as possible/practical so she can vote the right way. It's the DemonRat way.
It lives.....it votes.
Remember when they’d wheel old Strom into the Senate floor?
How old is her Chinese driver?
DIFI MCCAIN KENNEDY
Bad sign. That they called her back implies they are close to passing this monstrosity.
