| 摘要： | Democrats completed a political trifecta by winning two Senate runoff elections in Georgia and taking control of both chambers in the new Congress, along with the White House later this month. Those crucial victories left the Senate split 50-50 and Vice President-elect Ka-mala Harris with tie-breaking power after her swearing in on January 20. They also handed a dramatic boost to President-elect Joe Biden's ability to push his upcoming legislative agenda. "You'll see amazing things coming out of our new (committee) chairs and subcommittee chairs," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is scheduled to become the next Senate majority leader. Even before any legislative wins, the first impact from the power shift in the Senate is expected to be seen in the speed with which Biden s nominees will be confirmed. Current Senate rules require only a simple majority vote for confirmation, which Democrats will have. |
