Dianne Feinstein, 90, appears confused at Senate hearing — had to be prompted to vote By Patrick Reilly July 27, 2023 5:35pm Updated More On: dianne feinstein

Sen. Dianne Feinstein confused by VP Kamala Harris’ participation in tie-breaking vote: report NY pol becomes 5th House Dem to call on Sen. Dianne Feinstein to step down Gavin Newsom considering Oprah Winfrey to replace Dianne Feinstein in Senate: report Sen. Dianne Feinstein shielded from journalists at Capitol: report California Sen. Dianne Feinstein appeared confused and had to be prompted to vote “aye” in an uncomfortable moment during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Thursday.

The 90-year-old Democrat, who has faced calls to resign due to her health, remained awkwardly silent when it was her turn to cast her vote on the $831.781 billion Defense Appropriations bill. “Say aye,” Washington Sen. Patty Murray said to her. She repeated herself three more times. Feinstein, who has seemed frail and disoriented since battling complications from a shingles diagnosis in the spring, then began trying to read a prepared statement. But an aide came to her side and interrupted her before whispering something. “Yeah,” Murray said once more. “Just say ‘aye.’” “OK, just,” Feinstein replied.

“Aye,” Murray emphasized.

Then, Feinstein sat back in her chair and let out an “aye” for her vote.

A spokesperson later told NBC News that Feinstein had just slipped up amid the cluster of votes on several government spending bills ahead of a six-week break.



Feinstein, who has represented California for over 30 years, announced earlier this year that she would not seek re-election in 2024. Several longtime colleagues have leaked to the press that her mental acuity has significantly declined.

Sort of like a 6 y.o. First grader that can't concentrate before recess.
:facepalm:
 
I actually voted for Feinstein (her opponent was to the left of her) and hope she stays on. Of course if she is really incapable then that's something else but a number of people in California want her to step down (her replacement would be more liberal). I hope her health enables her to remain and give her a dignified send off from office.

While you are here, tough week for West Coast college sports, USC basketball team potentially loses its biggest recruit, and Colorado splits.

So, give us your estimation of what happens to the rest of the league? Suppose some will flee to the Big 12, but what of the others?

Actually we got the number one recruit in the country Isaiah Collier, but losing Bronny would be big. Feel for the kid.

Sucks about the PAC 12 but the conference made its own bed. Lots of rumors floating around about who else will leave and where. They’re all trying because the conference is a dying ship.
