Washington - Sen. Dianne Feinstein is facing pressure from within her own party to resign amid a lengthy absence due to her health.
Rep. Ro Khanna of California called on the longtime California senator to step down on Wednesday as she recovers from shingles.
"We need to put country ahead of personal loyalty," Khanna said in a tweet. "While she has had a lifetime of public service, it is obvious she can no longer fulfill her duties. Not speaking out undermines our credibility as elected representatives of the people."
"Senator Feinstein is a remarkable American whose contributions to our country are immeasurable," he tweeted. "But I believe it's now a dereliction of duty to remain in the Senate and a dereliction of duty for those who agree to remain quiet."
Feinstein, 89, announced on March 7 that she was out of the hospital and receiving treatment at home as she recovered from the infection. She said she looked "forward to returning to the Senate as soon as possible." A week prior to that, she said she hoped to be back in Washington later in March.
The Senate has been in recess since March 31, but returns next week.
"There is no update on her return at this time," her office told CBS News earlier Wednesday. Feinstein's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the calls for her resignation.
Feinstein has missed nearly 60 votes since her diagnosis in late February. She last voted on Feb. 16.

They know Newsome will appoint a young communist to replace her. Someone who will spend 40 years in the Senate cementing government’s boot onto the neck of America.
Paging John Fetterman, Mr. Fetterman please pick up the red courtesy phone in the lobby.

Color me surprised... I figured they would be just now finishing up on the plastic surgery for the replacement double.
Stanley Cup Finals to be held in Hell this year.
The issue is votes in the Senate so the Dems can ram through SC approvals and approvals for VP if Harris becomes president, God forbid. They want rid of Clarence Thomas in the worst way while they can still put a communist like Merrick Garland onto the SC in his place but they need every vote to do it.
Dems were always stupid but now they are elected people with legitimate mental impairments like Fetterman, Feinstein and Biden.
Maybe Newsom would appoint a (biological) woman of color who would add diversity and inclusion to the Senate, someone like Condoleezza Rice. (/s)
Congress needs to have casket seating.
...for those who can’t stop coffin’.
They'll need to kill another sitting SC judge before it matters.
Or a trans. A Senator from Sheboygan.
They know the seat is 100% safely dem and with her missing the votes they're having trouble confirming their marxist judges.
It is stunning how long these old criminals will hang on. I guess they have to remain in place to thwart any serious investigations coming their way.
Somebody knocked over her portrait in the attic.
“I figured they would be just now finishing up on the plastic surgery for the replacement double.”
It’s just what I always thought. The liberals are aliens and this is a remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. They already act like them with finger pointing and screams.
