Cochran attended the ceremony, along with his wife, Kay, and Mississippi’s two current senators, Roger Wicker (R) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (R). Former Gov. Haley Barbour (R), federal judges and members of Cochran’s old congressional staff also joined the ceremony.
Cochran, 80, retired from the Senate after 40 years in April, citing health concerns.
