Thomas R. Carper: “Coming to agreement on the Bipartisan Infrastructure was not easy.”

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

You and our colleagues have heard me invoke in this room more times than I can count the Golden Rule: Treat other people the way I want to be treated.

I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.

I want to thank our members for being here today.
