Bob Dole, 97, Born In 1923 – Republican Leader Of The United States Senate

Kansans must love Bob Dole, for he represented their state for over two decades in the U.S. Senate from 1969 to 1996. He chose to spend his final 11 years as a politician working as America’s Senate Republican Leader. By 2018, he got granted a Congressional Gold Medal.

The spouse of Elizabeth Dole, a former North Carolina U.S. Senator, announced his stage four lung cancer diagnosis in February 2021, getting his first treatment that same month. After the unfortunate announcement, President Joe Biden made an hour-long visit to Dole, who is now in his 90s.
