Schumer mentioned:
The truth that we bought the 51 votes, offers us only a nice feeling, enthusiasm, unity, encouragement, in that approach. And let me simply add, our caucus has been deeply grateful for Vice President Harris’s fixed schedule juggling to preside over a 50/50 Senate. She did a terrific job. We’re appreciative. It’s a part of her job. However I believe she’s finished numerous different good issues. And now she’s going to have a little bit extra time to do these issues. As a result of the necessity for her to be right here can be much less.
Subsequent, one of many issues I hope to do as chief is, even on this new electoral local weather, is attain out to Republicans. There are variety of Republicans within the Senate and the Home, who will not be MAGA Republicans, who know that if the Republican Get together follows the arduous proper, and the acute members of their caucuses, that they’ll proceed to lose floor as they’ve misplaced floor in 2020 and so they misplaced floor in 2022 and in 2018, within the Home. And it’s my intention to succeed in out to them and say, how can we work in a bipartisan approach? And also you say, oh, that’ll by no means occur. Effectively have a look at what occurred this summer time with 50/50. Of the six main payments we handed, 5 had been bipartisan. And it wasn’t that each Republican went together with us. However most did, sufficient did.

One of many methods to defeat the MAGAs in Congress is to isolate them. There are lots of extra non-MAGA members than there are Trump devotees. If Republicans and Democrats can unify on necessary points, Trump’s fan membership won’t have the political energy that it must do something.
The technique is to not give Trump’s MAGA the numbers that they should be profitable. The Senate has proven a capability to move bipartisan laws. Partisanship and division are oxygen for MAGA and thru cooperation American democracy will be saved.
