Barbara Boxer: “Clearing the air and, as Senator Biden said, starting from a fresh page here would have been wonderful.”

This is a sad moment, we always had two parties, one was to the right of center, one was to the left of center, and we never had a party, so extreme and so willing to become the party of grievance and anger and division.

We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.

We have to call out this president when he's not normal.

The way the Senate works, as you know, it`s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.
