Its a good night its a good night and it seems to be getting even better. More than 30 years after his first run for the presidency joe biden with a lead tonight and a lead overall in the del inaugurate race. On his third try for the white house. We are very much alive it was the Sweet Super Tuesday that joe biden had always dreamed of, setting a clear path to the nomination finally at age 77. It was like, okay, lets buckle up. Were going to go. It was a really good feeling. It was glorious. Glorious and unusual to say the least. Fact no one has ever come in fourth in iowa and fifth in New Hampshire and gone on to become the democratic president ial nominee. To
Mr. Isakson madam president. The presiding officer the senator from georgia. Mr. Isakson madam president , i ask unanimous consent to be able to address the senate. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Isakson thank you, madam president. Its an honor to be here today on whats not my last day but everybody is acting like it. A few months ago i had to an announce that after much consideration to be able to serve the people of georgia, when i knew i couldnt do the job i was going to quit and let somebody do it who wouldnt be hampered.

In august i decided to tell my wife about it, and we decided to go ahead and retire at the end of december, which ive announced and said i was going to do. The governor of georgia is making an appointment to take my place and you might look in the history books, current history and it might have an isakson in the glossary, but i doubt it. I have been here for 15 years. This is the most enjo
Ahead and retire at the end of december. Which ive said i was going to do in the governor is going to take my place. Haney might look in the history book, current history book and i might be in the glossary but i doubt it. You might not ever see this name again, ive been here for 15 years and loved every minute of it. This is the most enjoyable thing ive ever done in my life to be a part of the u. S. Senate. I love the people who are in the senate. Ive got a real bad rap as some of the a times. And some say i dont matter like some of the media most places. And people who are politicians and serve the people in the community. I never do that not because iham one because i know what you have to do. It is a tough job if its not done right it does not get done the way it should be.

If its not done right, it doesnt get done the way it should for people there. So im making sure that when i leave, the last thing i do is to leave the people of georgia in good hands
Be pahampered.
