It’s Not Joe Biden’s Senate Anymore

“All presidents come to town with hope for pushing through a bipartisan agenda, before running into the reality of a divided Washington, but some people believed Joe Biden’s experience in the Senate and his knowledge of its personalities meant it might be different this time,” NBC News reports.

“It doesn’t look like it so far. President Biden’s first major victory in Congress, the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, came on a straight party-line Senate vote. Issues such as immigration and health care don’t look like they will be any easier.”

“That result, however, may have less to do with Biden than with the changing nature of the U.S. Senate itself. The numbers show this is not Joe Biden’s Senate anymore and the last few weeks provided more evidence that more change is coming.”
