Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is set to return to Washington for work on Tuesday for the first time since February, handing Democrats their majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee and one-seat advantage in the full chamber. 

Adam Russell, a Feinstein spokesperson, confirmed to The Hill that she boarded a flight to Washington earlier on Tuesday. The Senate is set to vote this evening.

Feinstein has been sidelined since the February recess after she was hospitalized with shingles. 

The longtime California Democrat has been at the center of criticism in recent months, as the Judiciary Committee cancelled three straight mark-ups and was unable to move several nominees through the panel in March.
