Reflecting on the challenges faced by members of Congress, Buck highlighted the historic nature of the 118th Congress, pointing out significant events such as the removal of a speaker, expulsion of a member, and impeachment of a cabinet secretary. Despite these accomplishments, Buck emphasized the prevailing frustration among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
