With the Senate flipping to the GOP column, it’s unclear how many Republicans they’ll have. But they could have well over 50 votes. But they won’t have 60 yeas to crack a filibuster.
That could mean a pressure campaign to eliminate the filibuster.
Here’s the other dynamic: Democrats are holding the seats they need to potentially win the House.
Democrats have already flipped one key NY seat in their favor.

With a GOP Senate and the possibility of a Democratic House, we would be on the precipice of history.

With a Republican Senate, there will be a race now for Majority Leader between Thune, Cornyn, and Rick Scott. That leadership vote is scheduled for next Wednesday.

Also, if Democrats are able to flip the House, the roots of this can be traced back to swapping out Biden for Harris.

Harris might not win tonight. But had Biden stayed on the ticket, Democrats would have lost 30 seats. Biden bowing out didn’t guarantee that Democrats would win the House. But dropping Biden put the House within striking distance for the Democrats.
