His colleague stood up with a standing ovation, Saragonzales “Sara Gonzalez is not filtered” also has a hard time hiding her excitement.

“He has been elected seven times as the longest Senate leader in US history,” she continued. “To celebrate his birthday, he decided he would announce to the world that he would not run for reelection. Honestly, this was more of a present for us.”
