      Yeah, she probably should have retired 20 years ago after 2 terms. She still would’ve been 70, which I think is borderline too old.

      You notice they still said nothing about her relinquishing her seat…

    What’s this do the ballance of power in the Senate? Does this make Mitch McConnell majority leader until her successor is seated? Will the GOP control both houses of Congress, at least on paper, when the government shuts down?

      The balance is exactly where it’s been at. You could certainly make the case they had two majorities when they didn’t bother to give their own employer money.

    Pelosi’s big plan to hold that seat until the election so Gavin Newsom couldn’t put someone in temporarily which would hurt a corporate Democrats chance of getting in is dead.
