Sen. Dianne Feinstein had to be corrected and told to vote during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Thursday. During Thursday’s hearing, Feinstein was meant to cast her vote on the Defense Appropriations bill, requiring her to say “Aye” or “Nay,” when her name was called. When she didn’t answer, Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state tried to prompt her. “Aye,” Murray repeated once more. McConnell, who is 81 and the chamber’s fourth oldest member, returned minutes later, saying he was “fine.” An aide later told CNN the Kentucky Republican had felt light-headed.
