by Dan Walters June 26, 2023June 22, 2023

When the House of Representatives voted last week to censure Rep. Adam Schiff for his investigations of former President Donald Trump, it gave Schiff a big boost in his quest for a U.S. Senate seat.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is flanked by aides as she returns to the Senate Judiciary Committee following a more than two-month absence as she was being treated for a case of shingles, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, May 11, 2023. Feinstein’s office said Thursday, May 18, that she is suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a complication from the shingles virus that can paralyze part of the face, and that she contracted encephalitis while recovering from the virus earlier this year.
