“Senate leaders could be guessing who will control the chamber well into November, thanks to a slew of tight races and state-specific voting rules,” Axios reports.
“A GOP majority would ease the pressure on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to move quickly on nominations, while a Democratic majority would give Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer more leverage in the lame-duck session.”
”If the chamber splits 50/50, leaders will have to start negotiating their power-sharing agreement.”
