    Such a strange sentence. Makes you “garden path” (reanalyze the syntax after already being deeper into the structure). Minimally need a “that” after “Senator”.

    Though it’s uncommon usage, so that’s actually a tick against it potentially being AI generated.

      need a “that” after “Senator”.

      You mean ‘who’, right? Senators are (usually bad) people so let’s not treat them like objects.

        “That” or “who” are both commonly used for animate arguments. And given it is an object here, “whom” would be the most pretentious option.
