“There’s a real possibility that Kamala Harris wins the presidency and Democrats lose the Senate in November – in which case she’ll almost surely run into trouble stocking a Cabinet and the courts,” Semafor reports.
“Republicans are already vowing to block progressive nominees Harris might choose, push her Supreme Court picks to the right and potentially stop some of her lifetime judicial appointments, if they win back the Senate and she defeats Donald Trump – a split presidential-year election outcome that hasn’t happened for decades.”
“Many in the GOP are in a fighting mood after seeing President Joe Biden push his nominees through over the past several years, thanks to a slim Senate Democratic majority.”
