Psaki sidesteps question on if his absence will delay Biden's agenda further with Republicans having veto power and Democrats facing turmoil
The Senate's majority Democrats will have to function for more than a month without Sen. Ben Ray Luján as the New Mexico senator recovers from a stroke he suffered last week, according to a timeline put out by his office.
He plans to return to the Senate in four to six weeks, a senior aide in the 49-year-old senator's office said Wednesday – which would be two weeks after President Joe Biden self-imposed deadline for announcing a nominee to fill the seat of retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Luján checked himself into a hospital in Santa Fe last Thursday after he began to experience dizziness and fatigue, according to his chief of staff, who said Luján is expected to make a full recovery. He was transferred to a hospital in Albuquerque, where he remains.
