*Bicameral legislature*

Celebrating a disaster for America?

Still 49-51, since Manchin and Kirsten aren't Dems...

Sad... McConnel is at fault

It could have helped if they controlled both houses. But since it is only senate, then don't expect anything different. What passes in the senate won't be guaranteed to pass in the house.

51-49, only 2 senators is the difference between freedom or tirannia.

Person most upset by Warnock's reelection has to be Senator Manchin. He's lost his leverage.

Celebrating what exactly? What will effectively change?
