President Joe Biden on Wednesday paid tribute to the late Sen. Bob Dole, hailing the Kansas Republican as an "American giant" in remarks from Kansas City, Missouri.
"A lot of Americans remember Bob Dole as a presidential candidate, but for families he represented across the border -- he represented Kansas for 36 years -- and for those like me, who had the honor of calling him a friend, Bob Dole was an American giant, a man of extraordinary courage, both physical and moral courage," the President said.
Biden, who had served in the Senate with Dole, acknowledged the partisan divide between them, telling those gathered at the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority, "We didn't agree on everything, but I always admired and respected him, and his willingness to work with anyone, any party when it mattered most."
When prosecutors make their final pitch Tuesday to a New York jury for why they should convict Donald Trump of a slew of business crimes, they’ll face the burdensome task of weaving together weeks of testimony and evidence they say proves the former president committed felonies to help his 2016 campaign.
