, the former presidential nominee and U.S. senator called Feinstein"a remarkable and very effective leader." But Clinton, who described Feinstein as her friend, also made a practical argument for Feinstein staying in office.Democrats have been increasingly alarmed by Feinstein’s absences from Capitol Hill, with some going as far as to call for her resignation so that California Gov. Gavin Newsom can appoint a replacement.
“Here’s the dilemma: The Republicans will not agree to add someone else to the Judiciary Committee if she retires,” Clinton said. “If Republicans were to say and do the decent thing and say, well this woman was gravely ill, she had just lost her husband to cancer … of course, we will let you fill this position if she retires. But they won’t say that,” Clinton continued.
