ANAHEIM, Calif. — Despite continued — and mounting — questions about her health, Sen. Dianne Feinstein‘s office recently said she plans to finish out her term in the U.S. Senate.
But recent revelations about complications she’s suffered from her shingles diagnosis, including a brain inflammation — coupled with an exchange she had with reporters in the U.S. Capitol in which she appeared to be confused about her absence — have only underscored the possibility that those plans could, at some point, change.
At 89 years old, Feinstein is the oldest sitting U.S. senator, a trailblazer for women in politics who is back in Washington, D.C., working with a “lighter schedule” after a monthslong absence.
