By the standards of today’s polarized Washington, Senators Amy Klobuchar and Mike Lee shouldn’t be friends.

She’s a pro-choice, moderate Democrat who supported a bigger role for government when she ran for president last year. He’s Mormon and a small-government, conservative Republican whose father served in Ronald Reagan’s administration. They operate in an atmosphere of deep mistrust between parties, made worse by the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
