Our colleague from New York has got a tough job ahead of him. But he\u2019s pretty tough too. I send him my congratulations.\r\n\u201cRegardless of party though, one thing is clear: We\u2019ve got work to do and I know each of us is eager to get started.\r\n\u201cThat includes Senator-elect Todd Young from Indiana.\r\n\u201cI\u2019ve had the opportunity to spend time with him again this week and congratulate him on his impressive victory.\r\n\u201cIt was a hard-fought race and he should be proud of the outstanding campaign he ran.\r\n\u201cOf course my friend Senator Dan Coats leaves behind some pretty big shoes to fill \u2014 and I\u2019ll have more to say about that later \u2014 but I\u2019m confident Senator-elect Young is up to the task.\r\n\u201cWe\u2019re all looking forward to him joining us on this side of the Capitol come January.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=68BC0C9E-FB59-4243-B3B4-C7CFC881CD0F"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3416639994829893, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
