My Take
Richard Blumenthal reads to me as the archetype of the seasoned American institutionalist. A Harvard-educated lawyer who served as Connecticut's attorney general before entering the Senate in 2011, he has built his profile less on showmanship than on the patient, unglamorous work of consumer protection and pressing tech companies for accountability. The Ukrainian honors he holds signal a politician willing to stake a clear position on the world stage. Whatever one's partisan view, I respect the sheer endurance of a public servant who keeps showing up decade after decade, and I find his steady, dogged style worth watching.
