- Democrats are belatedly acknowledging the relevance of old age in politics, following Dianne Feinstein's illness and absence from the Judiciary Committee.
- Feinstein's delay in returning to Washington has left the committee deadlocked, unable to greenlight Mr. Biden's nominees.
- Ro Khanna and Dean Phillips have called for Feinstein's resignation, citing the need to put 'country ahead of personal loyalty'.
- Democrats must consider Joe Biden's age and competency, as his decline is becoming impossible to ignore.
- The party establishment remains loath to entertain a 2024 primary fight despite the potential for problems for the party.
