There are a lot of obvious advantages to having the most votes, but the biggest "perk" of being in the majority is the ability to set the calendar, which means that if majority leadership does not want to bring a bill to the floor, they are not required to do so (in most cases). If Democrats win both seats, control of the Senate is tied**. But if Republicans win even one seat, they will maintain control of the chamber, which they have held since 2014. *Senator Kelly Loeffler's term has not yet expired, as she was appointed to fill her seat and control will not switch unless she loses her race tonight. David Perdue's term has already expired, and his seat is officially vacant. **Kamala Harris, who will become Vice President on January 20, would serve as the tie-breaking vote, giving Democrats de facto control of the chamber.

The past four years, Dems have been complaining about Republicans and how they’ve kept blocking stuff they wanted to do, which is true, but if they win this, they take control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. Things should be going on the up. This. Biden is gonna be gross and simp for the neofascists for no reason, but they’re literally irrelevant of Dems take full control of everything.

JRCF29 8,230 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 REMEMBER: About 3 million votes were cast before election day alone (some by mail, most in-person early). So far, only 1.2 million votes are being reported. There is a long way to go Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
