The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate on Monday began what will be a week of remembrance of Sen. John McCain and praised him as a lawmaker who fought against the polarization of politics.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., praised the Arizona Republican, who died Saturday at 81 of brain cancer, in a long floor speech that recalled their final meeting in Sedona, Ariz., where they replayed memorable moments in their Senate careers.
