when the Senate was in session.

Names?

Twenty-one nominations were approved by the Senate during her absence. There are another 20 awaiting confirmation and her absence hasn't held up any of them.

There are nine nominees pending in Committee -- four were nominated this month and none of them have had a committee hearing yet even though Feinstein's presence. Indeed, hearing were held on some nominees during her absence.

As recently as 2022 she was one of the most effective Senators: She sponsored the sixth most bills of any Democrat, was seventh in getting her bills out of committee, and tied for sixth in getting bills on which she was the lead sponsor enacted.
