When the new Congress assembles in January, the extra seat will give Senate Democrats a solid majority that provides greater control over not just floor votes but also the committees, which are the backbeat of legislating.
“Chuck Schumer’s job is going to get a lot easier,” said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.
The same goes for committee action. The Democrats will now have full power to send legislation to the Senate floor, overcoming Republican objections that can drag out the process. They also will have subpoena power, which they plan to use for investigating corporate America. “That was a losing argument,” said Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 2 Republican, about the stolen election claims.
