“Mr. President, we will be joined shortly by your colleague from the great State of Virginia, and I wanted to address some of the incredible work done by the Maryland and the Virginia National Guard, which was so important that day. We have fixed a lot of the issues going forward about how they get called in, but that moment when they had to stand up, they did. So we really, truly appreciate their help, as well as other National Guards-- from as far away as New Jersey and as close as DC--for helping out that day. They made a critical difference. I see the Senator from Michigan is here, and we thank him for his leadership of the Homeland Security Committee and the work that we did together in the aftermath of this insurrection to make sure something like this--and to guarantee to the staff and the officers in this Capitol that something like this never happens again. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan.”
