Article snippet: Sen. Corey Booker (D-N.J.) recounted his hug with Sen. MORE (I-Vt.) hugged McCain. "Long story short," Booker said, "he comes to the senate floor to do what I don't want him to do. In fact, he puts the vote in to move the bill that I've been fighting to the floor. And then, the vote's over. We line up. Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders we go over there and hug him." Booker explained that the hug was a welcome back to the Senate floor following McCain's cancer diagnosis and that he looked at McCain with admiration for his strength. "He won't let darkness win," Booker said, according to the Apollo Theater where the event was held. McCain ultimately voted to kill the bill in a Senate vote a day later.
