Senator-designate Walter Walker finished a 2100 mile auto and air journey from Grand Junction Colorado to Washington DC in 36 hours to take the oath. His arrival gives the Democrats a temporary plurality in the Senate by one seat. He traveled 390 miles by car over snow covered mountains to Denver then flew the remainder with a tail wind aiding his early arrival.
