I don't honestly think either either Georgia run-off is going to go to a Dem, so it most likely is going to end up 52-48. Joe will need one more Republican to work with if he wants to get things done with minimal interference from McConnell. Link to comment

I’m sure Democrats will be excited but the Republicans think the election was stolen so they’ll be excited too. And I guess maybe the Alaska and Maine votes could come for some things but those 2 got trashed so much. I'm not saying they didn't deserve some of it but if you have 51 people who refuge to budge on anything and 2 people who can be counted on 10% of the time, you don't save the most trash for the 2 people. 1 Link to comment

Like I said the Maine and Alaska ladies 10% of the time... but maybe it's only 5% of the time. Not holding out much hope. But Biden could try some really moderate things that will help the Republicans out too. Those 3 would probably be the most swayable. Link to comment

I would put him in the least likely to work with Biden quartile. 1 Link to comment

You were the one asking who might be a possibility, I just added my thoughts. A hypothetical as it were. The correct answer isn't known. Link to comment

A hypothetical as it were. The correct answer isn't known. Ya. Like I said I'd put him in the least likely quartile. Which means I think he is all in on GOP policy. He is in no danger of losing his Senate seat even if he goes against McConnell 25% of the time. So if he goes with McConnell 100% of the time it's because he really wants to. Link to comment
