McConnell interrupted Warren, saying she had impugned another senator and violated an arcane Senate rule.

“Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted," he said.

The Senate voted 49-43 along party lines to prevent Warren from speaking on the Senate floor for the remainder of debate on Sessions's nomination.

Democrats slammed McConnell and GOP representatives for silencing Warren, thrusting her into the limelight just as rumors continue to circulate that she could run on the Democratic ticket in 2020.
