SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden honored Dianne Feinstein in video remarks as a defender of American values and a dear friend at a memorial service for the late U.S. senator. Vice President Kamala Harris and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are among those speaking at Thursday’s memorial. Hundreds of mourners streamed into San Francisco City Hall on Wednesday to pay their respects to Feinstein, whose casket was on display. City Hall is the building where she served as a board supervisor and the city’s first female mayor before departing for a groundbreaking career in Congress.
