"And that’s what this election is all about. Who can walk into the national arena with the most friends, the most supporters, that has fought the good battles, to understand their problems as much as I want them to understand mine."

2. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Rep. Charles Rangel, (D) New York:
"This law is written so poorly you can’t even enforce it. They’re not going to be angry with us Mr. Campbell. Not our allies. They’re going to feel sorry for us. No great nation like ours can have the arrogance to tell some other country what they can do with their foreign trade."

STORYLINE:
Former U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, an outspoken, gravel-voiced Harlem Democrat who spent nearly five decades on Capitol Hill and was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, died Monday at age 94.
His family confirmed the death in a statement provided by City College of New York spokesperson Michelle Stent. He died at a hospital in New York, Stent said.
A veteran of the Korean War, he defeated legendary Harlem politician Adam Clayton Powell in 1970 to start his congressional career. During the next 40-plus years, he became a legend himself — a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, dean of the New York congressional delegation, and in 2007, the first African American to chair the powerful Ways and Means Committee.
He stepped down from that committee amid an ethics cloud, and the House censured him in 2010. But he was reelected. He went on to serve in Congress until 2017, when he decided not to seek reelection.
