In this role, O Connor provided primary care for Biden and the second family, with the doctor responsible for looking after them at home and on any trips they took.
Sen.
Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) has compiled an impressive resume over the years. He spent his early years on a small-town Arkansas cattle farm, and those humble beginnings miraculously led to Harvard University and then Harvard Law School.
After working at a leading New York firm, he decided to join the military, and was discharged after nearly eight years and two war-zone deployments as an Army captain and decorated hero including two commendation medals, a Bronze Star and a Ranger tab.
