(3,504 posts)I knew I wouldn't see Blackburn there. I see a total of 18 Senators of 24 invited. So that's 16 Democrats and two Republicans? Right? About as bipartisan as we can get.

Representation matters. Diversity matters.
I'd like to see more women in leadership roles.

and said it was lovely. Blackburn said the Senators have these get togethers every year except last year because of covid-19. Blackburn said Harris was the most liberal Senator and she herself the most conservative but they've always gotten along.

Carlos Elizondo, the Bidens social secretary and residence manager, helped them come up with the perfect antique English cabinet to hold it. Outdoors, theres a tall tree where Joe Biden surprised his wife with a message one year: a plaque that says Joe Loves Jill, Valentines Day 2010.
They are also proud of the Family Heritage Garden of the Vice President they created in 2012, just off the front lawn. The idea came to Jill Biden when she saw the White House Childrens Garden, which commemorates presidential children and grandchildren. I thought, What a good idea to preserve a historic sense for our residence, she says. She and Elizondo came up with a design for a garden with a fountain in the middle. They contacted each family, compiled the list of names and even included pets."...(more)
