@kristian_1234@steve_vladeck@MidwestHedgie True, but most senators show up most days. Right now, if two Dems are sick, they lose their majority. Now, if that happens, they keep it.
Three huge differences between a 50-50 and 51-49 D majority:
1) Having a majority on each Committee versus power sharing/deadlocks requiring discharge petitions;
2) No single D Senator can hijack/block nominations; and
3) Ds can have *two* members absent and still hold votes.
@Shourd09@openargs The 3d party candidate Bond isn’t a libertarian. She’s a centrist with views on social policy that skew liberal. Her votes are almost certainly going to Golden (D)
They can’t officially call that race because of RCV. But it’s a lock.
