In an age of ever-increasing partisanship, one senator had a remarkable ability to work across the aisle without compromising his conservative principles.
Retired Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, the longest serving Republican senator in U.S. history, died April 23, 2022, at age 88. Hatch was first elected in 1976 and served 42 years in the Senate until retiring after his seventh term in 2019.
