GOP hits 50: Alaska Senate race called for Sullivan; Update: Cabinet?

Anyway, now we know that we re looking at a Senate where the GOP have at least half of the chamber. With Joe Biden in the White House, that would leave Kamala Harris on hand to break any ties, including on leadership votes. Republicans have to win at least one of the two runoff elections in Georgia on January 5 to keep control of the floor and to ensure that Republicans have any leverage at all in legislation and Cabinet appointments.

Of course, there s another way around that. Joe Manchin spent most of the last two days insisting that he won t vote for Democrats crazy stuff, like court-packing and the Green New Deal. He also wants an all of the above approach to energy that s not just out of line with extreme progressives but with the core of his party. He demurred on party switching in his interview with Bret Baier and in another with Salena Zito, but also made it clear that he wasn t going to enable Democrats to take control of the agenda, either.
