House Democrats call on Dianne Feinstein to resign amid absence

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."
