Feinstein Appears Confused During Senate Vote, Prompted By Colleagues To Simply Say "Aye"

Senator Dianne Feinstein seemed confused and started to give a speech instead of voting during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.
Feinstein had to be repeatedly reminded by Senator Patty Murray and staffers to simply say "aye" to cast her vote.
Feinstein's spokesperson cited the chaotic nature of the proceedings and said the senator was preoccupied and didn't realize a vote was called.
The incident has raised renewed concerns over Feinstein's mental acuity and fitness to serve, following a prolonged absence earlier this year due to shingles.
At 90 years old, Feinstein has faced mounting calls to resign, but she remains determined to continue serving the remainder of her term through January 2025.
