More information has come out on the declining health of Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein.
According to a new report, Dianne Feinstein was confused last year when Kamala Harris was presiding over a tie-breaking vote in the Senate.
Feinstein reportedly asked her colleagues, “What is she doing here?”
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, was reportedly confused last year after observing Vice President Kamala Harris presiding over the Senate for a tie-breaking vote.
Feinstein, 89, appeared unaware during one vote as to why Harris, who had previously broken numerous ties, was taking up her role as president of the Senate, according to a report from The New York Times.
A witness included in the report said Feinstein allegedly asked colleagues, “What is she doing here?”
With the Senate locked in a 50-50 majority split for the first two years of the Biden administration, Democrats needed every member of their party plus Harris’ tie-breaking vote to approve many bills and nominations.
She relies on her aides when she gets confused.
According to the report, “They push her wheelchair, remind her how and when she should vote and step in to explain what is happening when she grows confused.”
A New York Times report has amplified questions about the refusal of Democratic US Senator Dianne Feinstein, 89, to step down from office – claiming the Californian politician relies heavily on aides and at times seems uncertain of where she is or what is happening.
“They push her wheelchair, remind her how and when she should vote and step in to explain what is happening when she grows confused,” congressional correspondent Annie Karni wrote in a New York Times article published on Sunday. “They stay with her in the cloak room just off the Senate floor, where Ms. Feinstein has taken to waiting her turn to vote, then appearing in the doorway to register her ‘aye’ or ‘nay’ from the outer edge of the chamber.”
