He posed for photos, recalled his early days in politics when Delaware was a more Republican state, praised the state Democratic Party’s successful efforts to rebuild, and discussed his own future. “I’ve got some bad news for you: I’m coming home,” Biden said to cheers, joking that he would run for his old county council seat. Taking Blunt Rochester’s hand, he praised her for achieving a milestone. “The idea that I would be standing here with the first African-American female congressman from the state of Delaware,” Biden said. “It’s a big deal.” And he reflected on the civil-rights days in Wilmington and how far the nation has come. Biden described the riots in Wilmington that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 and recalled standing at the city’s train station nine months later, when the damage still was visible and the National

Guard still was patrolling the streets. Shawn Miller “Almost 40 years to the day, I’m stand- Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden poses with Rep.

CRO also helped make rare or unusual sacred texts from Library collections available to the Speaker’s Office for use in swearing-in ceremonies, including Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Mormon and African Heritage versions of the Old and New Testaments, as well as Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim texts and two bound versions of the U.S. Constitution.

and supporters gathered in the Jefferson and Madison buildings to eat, talk and watch the proceedings on C-SPAN. In the Members Room, Smucker supporters watched as representatives cast votes for speaker of the House, quieting as his turn approached and breaking into cheers when he announced his vote for Ryan, the eventual winner. Following the proceedings, Smucker, along with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, joined the party. In the Montpelier Room, family and friends cheered when the broad- cast showed Brown on the House floor as the proceedings ended – and chuckled as the cameras caught him pantomiming a question to a distant colleague: Are we driving or walking to the Library? Brown eventually made it to the Montpelier, joined by Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, who, like Brown, represents a district in the state.

I am not.” With a vote pending in the House, Brown dispensed with his prepared speech in favor of a few, rousing part- ing words. “This is a big day, a new Congress – the 115th Congress,” Brown said. “It’s a day we celebrate democracy, it’s a day we celebrate diversity and it’s a day we celebrate our devotion to the things that we value, the principles: freedom and liberty, equality and opportunity. “And whether you embrace rugged individualism or the notion that collec- Shawn Miller tively we have to promote the general Carla Hayden greets Rep.
