Biden, as Vice President, presided over Hatch in 2013 as he swore in for his final term in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Hatch, whose tenure as the longest-serving Republican senator in history (1977-2019) overlapped with Biden\u2019s time serving in the deliberative body, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/orrin-hatch-longest-serving-republican-in-history-dies-at-88\/\">died on Saturday<\/a>. A statement from the Hatch Foundation read, in part, \u201cUpon his retirement, Senator Hatch held the distinction of having passed more legislation into law than any other Senator alive. Through his relentless work ethic, Hatch earned a reputation as one of the most effective and bipartisan lawmakers of all time. In total, he sponsored or cosponsored more than 750 bills that became law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden on the passing of his friend, late GOP UT Sen Orrin Hatch. Biden says Hatch \u201cnever humored a bully, or shied from a challenge \u2026 saw that energetic, sharp-elbowed Orrin in the many battles we had over tax policy, the right of workers to join a union, and many others,\u201d Fox News Congressional reporter Chad Pergram tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden: Senator Hatch was also a man of deep faith; a gentle soul who wrote songs and poems. This was the Orrin who looked out for the people who often didn\u2019t have a voice in our laws and our country \u2026 He was, quite simply, an American original,\u201d Pergram\u2019s second tweet added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">B) Biden: Senator Hatch was also a man of deep faith; a gentle soul who wrote songs and poems..This was the Orrin who looked out for the people who often didn\u2019t have a voice in our laws and our country..He was, quite simply, an American original.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChadPergram\/status\/1518287874784993280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 24, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hatch, who was often praised for his willingness to work across the aisle, lamented the growing divide between the parties during his retirement announcement in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy heart is heavy because it aches for the times when we actually lived up to our reputation as the world\u2019s greatest deliberative body.
