"You know, Arizona has a lot of seniors like South Florida does, and it was just, you know, all the way around, she's a representative and a daughter of Tucson, Ariz., and made a triumphant return yesterday and it was incredible."

When Biden was asked what he spoke with Giffords about, he joked, "She's now a member of the cracked head club like me."

The debt-ceiling bill passed the House 269-161. The Senate will vote on the measure today.
