Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) announced she wouldn't vote to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on the Senate Judiciary Committee as Congress returns to Capitol Hill.
"I will not go along with Chuck Schumer’s plan to replace Senator Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee and pack the court with activist judges," Blackburn tweeted on Monday."Joe Biden wants the Senate to rubber stamp his unqualified and controversial judges to radically transform America."Feinstein, who is 89 and recovering from shingles, has faced calls from fellow Democrats, including Rep. Ro Khanna , to step down from Congress over her absence from the Senate.
If Feinstein does retire, Gov. Gavin Newsom would need to appoint her replacement before next year's election for her seat. Feinstein is not seeking another term. But the race to replace her will likely be one of the most watched of 2024.
