Great story, well told.

What strikes me is that the Senate was in session on a Friday afternoon. I don't think that happens very often anymore.

Entertaining article, Gabe, and a nice respite from the daily firehose of outrageous "news," while also being relevant to modern day politics. Thank you for this piece of history.

Thank you Gabe. I was very curious about this and haven't seen it covered anywhere else. This is exactly why I subscribe.

If Ricketts wins and the Senate is 50 GOP-50 Dem, the GOP organizes the Senate because VP Vance can break the tie.

If Osborne wins and the Senate is 49 GOP-50 Dem-1 Ind, the Dems organize the Senate.

I appreciate the background on Morse's independent streak. I'm not forgetting that story anytime soon
