Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has joined the ranks of some of her fellow Democrats in calling on Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to resign from the Senate due to her prolonged absence clogging up judicial nominations and costing the party some key votes.
Tlaib’s comments come in response to a Senate vote on Wednesday to cancel an Environmental Protection Agency mandate that sought to tighten regulations on nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted from heavy-duty vehicles. The bill narrowly passed the Senate with a 50-49 vote, with Sen. Joe Manchin joining all Republicans backing the measure — prompting anger among some Democrats who say Feinstein’s presence would’ve tanked the GOP effort.“Because Sen.
“Because Senator Feinstein was absent, the Senate overturned a Biden rule that would cut pollution from heavy duty trucks and causes harm to people’s lungs,” Khanna said on Thursday. “We are putting decorum over democracy and our values. It’s time for Senator Feinstein to step down gracefully.” "Senator Feinstein is a remarkable American whose contributions to our country are immeasurable," Phillips tweeted on April 12."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."
