Democrat Representative of New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has just called for Senator Dianne Feinstein of California to retire.
Feinstein who is currently 89 years old has been away from the Capitol for months after she was hospitalized with shingles back in March.

The lawmaker from New York continued “That failure means now in this precious window Dems can only pass GOP- approved nominees.”
