During a Senate Appropriations Committee markup, Feinstein was supposed to cast her vote on a Defense funding bill, saying either “aye” or “nay” after her name was called. Feinstein was prompted multiple times to vote, but she started reading prepared remarks supporting the legislation.
An aide went to the Feinstein's side to guide her to vote, and shortly thereafter Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told her, “Just say ‘aye.’"
She cast her vote, and the hearing continued − and so did the questions.
