John Thune: “The following Senators are necessarily absent: the Senator from Wyoming (Mr. Barrasso) and the Senator from Oklahoma…”

I’m a realist. But I feel good about where things stand.

It seems to me some days that I'm the only one here who can count to 50 in this town. But we don't have the votes to get rid of the filibuster. And we aren't flipping 10 Democrats to vote for the SAVE America Act.

That must be a different form of math

I think we have a bunch of stuff we have to finish and we’ll just stay until we finish it.
