Democrats Don’t Really ‘Control’ the Senate

Politico: “Every day, it seems, brings another reminder of the severe limitations of Democrats’ illusory majority in a 50-50 Senate.”

“Democrats have had great success confirming President Joe Biden’s nominees, punctuated this week by installing a new FTC commissioner who gave Democrats the majority and the first Black woman on the Federal Reserve Board. But on a day-to-day basis, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s job is an excruciating grind based on whether any of his members have Covid, if Republicans are feeling cooperative and where a handful of Democrats stand.”
