Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski's summer interns took photos with all 100 senators. (From Sen. Lisa Murkowski's workplace).

What's the distinction in between Bigfoot and chosen agents intent on avoiding the press?

One can be nearly difficult to discover … … the other is Bigfoot.

That is why we at NPR needed to be impressed with what a group of eight interns in Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski's office have actually achieved. In just three brief weeks, these interns doggedly found all 100 senators, and took a selfie with them.

We wished to hear more about what those interns learnt more about the senators throughout their adventure.

NPR's Scott Detrow talked to two of the interns, Lillian Yang and Claire Moreland. (From Sen. Lisa Murkowski's office).

Yang and Moreland told NPR one of the most fun senator was New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who has a reputation for his personable and warm behavior.

" Senator Booker was simply genuinely wonderful," Moreland stated. "And he was so kind and considerate and genuine.".

He is also the perfect selfie candidate: Not just does he have a huge smile, he likewise stands at 6' 3″″, offering him the needed wingspan to snap a selfie with everyone in it.

The most evasive senator

Senator Sinema is understood to take her physical fitness seriously and is an avid marathon runner. (From Sen. Lisa Murkowski's office).

She was not the last senator to be found, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was the hardest to track down, Moreland informed us.

This should not be unexpected. Sinema is a known fitness lover and, as legend has it, she can run a mile under 7 minutes.

At just 36 years old, Jon Ossoff is the youngest senator in Congress. (From Sen. Lisa Murkowski's office).

The interns stated Sen. Booker was one of the most fun to snap a selfie with, but with a little prodding from Moreland and Detrow, Yang admitted to having another favorite.

MORELAND: Lillian, I believe you had another preferred senator, didn't you?

YANG: I had an individual favorite.

DETROW: Well, who was the personal favorite? You're teasing it. You got to let us understand.

YANG: Personal favorite was Senator Ossoff.

Yang did not detail exactly why Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff was her favorite; nevertheless, she is not alone in her affinity for him.

Ossoff boasts a healthy following of smitten web fans-- a community that even crosses borders and consists of an Instagram fan account.

The longest holdout

Murkowski's previous associate of interns were the first use up the senator selfies challenge, but just handled to get 75 of them. (From Sen. Lisa Murkowski's office).

While Sinema may have been the hardest to determine, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar took the longest to find, Moreland and Yang stated.

" We really were waiting outside the Senate flooring for hours," Yang said.

The Murkowski interns finally handled to nab their 100th senator selfie with some support from their associates in Klobuchar's workplace.

" Eventually, [Klobuchar's] interns heard about it due to the fact that we were blowing up on Twitter and her interns helped us get Senator Klobuchar off the floor to take a photo of us," Yang stated.

Now that's real bipartisanship.
