In the current Senate, the longest-serving member is Patrick Leahy, a Democrat (elected in 1974). Then come Orrin Hatch (elected in 1976), Thad Cochran (elected in 1978), and Chuck Grassley (elected in 1980) before you get to Mitch McConnell (elected in 1984).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
