Published | Video Starts at 00:26

I'm nearing the end of my Senate term, and I'm reflecting on some historic events which I've witnessed at this table, at this desk. One of the most historic I remember, and specifically the date, On January 6, 2021, the votes all across America had been counted to see who was elected president in the 2020 election. And the process involved certification by the House and the Senate of the electoral votes that were to be counted. In the past, it has been almost a pro forma event, hardly noticed by anyone. (00:26–00:35)
