Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he had a “long and serious” conversation with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) following backlash from progressives over her handling of last week’s Judiciary Committee hearings with Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett, with some calling for the California senator to cede her role as the top Democrat on the committee.
“I’ve had a long and serious talk with Senator Feinstein. That’s all I’m going to say about it right now,” Schumer told reporters at a news conference on Oct. 20.
