The Democratic Senators who were also primary candidates [View all]

have all gotten over their disappointment at their primary results and are back in the Senate, working hard to keep Mitch McConnell from turning the Coronavirus relief package over to corporations and billionaires. Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, and Kamala Harris are hard at work in negotiations and voting to make that relief focus on middle-class workers and others who do not have vast resources.

I'm as proud of them as I can be. They are on the scene, at their jobs, and working hard for us. That's what they were elected to do.

They are all Democratic Senators we can all be proud of. One of them, perhaps, will be our next Vice President.

Meanwhile, another Senator, who calls himself an Independent in the Senate, is still campaigning for the Democratic nomination, despite his Independent status in the Senate, and despite having no path to the nomination. His absence in the Senate during this period has been noticed, so I don't include him in my praise for our Democratic Senators. The difference is palpable.
