I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Are enough Democrats going to go along with this to total 60 votes in the Senate? Absolutely not. So don’t spend any time talking or worrying about it.
