Hillary Clinton returned to the Senate Thursday to discuss the state of her presidential campaign and thank Senate Democrats for their support.

“It was a love fest,” said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. after the lunch.

The presumptive Democratic nominee’s arrival caused a stir around the Capitol. Police blocking off hallways and Hill staffers gathering outside the Senate Democrats’ lunch to catch a glimpse of her. A van in her motorcade was even involved in a crash on the East Front.

Inside the meeting room just off the Senate floor, Clinton discussed a range of issues — including the economy, campaign strategy and the Supreme Court — with her former colleagues. She represented New York in the Senate for eight years, before becoming Secretary of State in 2009.
