Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Confuses Vote on $823 Billion Defense Appropriations Bill

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., appeared confused during a vote on a defense appropriations bill Thursday, prompting a fellow Democratic senator to step in. Feinstein, 90, had been away from Washington, D.C., for shingles and complications from shingles earlier this year, and the bill was passed by the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday. It provides $823 billion in funding for the Department of Defense and other national security programs, and will now move to the full Senate for consideration.
