Just Half the Senate Chamber Celebrated

Few things illustrated our partisan divide more than Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) standing alone on the GOP side of the aisle celebrating Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic confirmation as a Supreme Court justice.

New York Times: “As applause echoed from the marbled walls, Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the minority leader, turned his back and slowly walked out, as did most of the few Republicans remaining on the floor, leaving half of the chamber empty as the other half celebrated in a stark reflection of the partisan divide.”
