Weeks after Lieberman lost the Democratic primary - and defied his party with an independent bid - the three-term Connecticut senator was greeted warmly Wednesday as he attended the party's weekly luncheon and participated in Senate business.
Democrats gave Lieberman an ovation as Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., introduced him at the lunch and welcomed him back. Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine shared a hug with Lieberman on the Senate floor.
"My colleagues were as warm and collegial as you would expect them to be," Lieberman said of his reception on Capitol Hill.
