On the recordDecember 4, 2024
Mr. President, the Biden-Harris administration will go down in history as arguably the most productive and consequential administration in the last 75 years. They couldn't have done it without a good partnership in Congress. Today, I want to thank five Democratic Senators who played key roles in the historic achievements of this Congress and many others. They include chairs of four committees and one subcommittee, and they will all be leaving when they finish up their work this month. I have more words of thanks for other departing colleagues and will deliver those soon. Collectively, these five Senators have given nearly 135 years of service to the U.S. Senate. They represent not only a good deal of this body's institutional memory but a large share of its heart and its conscience as well.
