Sen. Scott on the future of the Senate

Published | Video Starts at 09:28

It's very simple. Most people work 40 hours a week and that's five days a week. We don't. We come up here on Mondays. We start work at 5:30. We are done at 1:45 on Thursdays. So we ought to work five days a week. When I got the job in January 2019, I thought I was coming up here on Sunday night or Monday morning, finishing Friday night. (09:28–09:33)
