Feinstein was hospitalized in early March for treatment and returned to her San Francisco home on March 7. She has not been in Washington, D.C., since the onset of the illness. She has missed 60 votes of the 82 taken in 2023 so far, including two prior to her illness. Feinstein “continues to work from home in San Francisco as she recuperates,” her spokesperson Adam Russell told The Chronicle Monday. He did not have any information about when she plans to return to D.C.
