Line 28:
In [[1992]] and [[1998]], South Dakotans re-elected Daschle to the Senate by overwhelming margins. In [[1994]], he was chosen by his colleagues to succeed the retiring Senator George Mitchell as Democratic Leader. In the history of the Senate, only [[Lyndon Johnson]] had served fewer years before being elected to lead his party. In addition to the Leader's post, Daschle also serves as a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee. In past Congresses, he has served on the Veterans, Indian Affairs, Finance and Ethics Committees.
In October, 2001 Daschle's office received a letter containing anthrax. See [[individual cases of anthrax]].
