Following Senator Dianne Feinstein’s retirement announcement, President Joe Biden praised her as a passionate defender of civil liberties and a strong advocate for national security policies. When Feinstein missed votes in late February, her spokesperson explained she was in California addressing a health matter and aimed to return to Washington soon. Feinstein, a prominent California Democrat, had been a vocal supporter of gun control, notably championing the assault weapons ban signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994 and advocating for restrictive laws post its expiration in 2004.
