“today, two of our newest Senate Democratic colleagues will take the oath of office: the Senator from California, Adam Schiff, and the Senator from New Jersey, Andy Kim. I congratulate and welcome Senators-elect Schiff and Kim to the Senate. Today, the Senate Democrats add two high-ranking caliber leaders who already had great reputations in the House, where they got a whole lot done. Senator-elect Schiff brings to the Senate an impressive record as a leading voice among House Democrats, where he was known for his piercing eloquence, his thoughtfulness, his unwavering support of democracy, and his courage. As former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, he brings deep expertise and knowledge that will make him just a great Senator. And Senator-elect Kim is no different. He is one of the most respected and admired Members of the House Democratic caucus, where his talent was only matched by his decency. He boasts an impressive record of service as a national security expert and diplomat, and spent every day in Congress putting families first. And today will go down in history. Senator-elect Kim's parents came to America without knowing a soul, and today their son becomes the first Korean-American Senator ever. That makes you proud to be an American. So to our new colleagues, we say welcome. We are excited to work with you. We are ready to help you.…”
