Democrats can regain a majority on a key Senate committee if Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) resigns, a top Republican senator said on April 23.

Feinstein has been away from Washington for months because of a bout with shingles. That has left Democrats with the same number of votes on the Senate Judiciary Committee as Republicans, and the GOP rejected an effort to temporarily replace the Californian.
