Was she the one the Republicans kept Wheeling out for a vote?

On that note, the Dems have lost their majority in the Senate with her passing (taking Sinema and Manchin into account).

It's in Gavin Newsom's hands, but yes, he can name a replacement.
Also an issue here is was on the Senate Judiciary Committee and the R's can block her replacement. Meaning no more judges appointed..

Dianne Feinstein’s Death Instantly Creates Two Big Problems to Solve


The second question is what will happen with Feinstein’s crucial tie-breaking seat on the Judiciary Committee.

A number of prominent Democrats, including those on the Judiciary Committee, had argued this year against Feinstein resigning on the grounds that Republicans would filibuster her replacement on the committee, deadlocking its membership and limiting Democrats’ efforts to process judicial nominations. Republicans had already blocked a Democratic request earlier in the year, while Feinstein was on a lengthy hiatus from the Senate, to temporarily swap in another Democratic senator to her Judiciary seat. So Feinstein returned to Washington from her bout with shingles, sooner than may have been medically advisable, to serve as that tie-breaking vote in committee on Biden’s more partisan nominations.

I'm not so sure about this, he might take more votes away from Trump than he does from Biden...
