Storey spent two years of his life as the Senator's right-hand man and one of his only friends, as the progressive Sumner had made many enemies in Washington. During his tenure, he initially supported the removal of President Andrew Johnson from office but soon became disenchanted by what he viewed as the corruption and opportunism of politicians on both sides.
