But this is only one example of how one person's absence can impact the Senate, when there are such narrow margins.
(See: judiciary nominations).
I'm not one to push someone off their job, but I'm also worried, especially given the bad 2024 map for Senate Dems.
NOW is the time to shore up as much as possible. And we can't do that, if we're missing a key vote.

All, if you need proof that Feinstein's absence matters, look at today's vote.
The vote was 50-49, because:
1. Manchin voted with the GOP,
2. Feinstein is still out.
If Feinstein had been there, it would have been 50-50- and Harris as tie-breaker.
