We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
But even as enormous attention is trained on the presidency, we need to remember that the Senate races will play an equally important role in what happens next.
If Democrats obtain a Senate majority in 2020, which is a real possibility based on what we are seeing in the polls, this could be a game changer. Democratic control of both the House and Senate would be of great import regardless of who controls the White House
Vice President Joe Biden is elected president, a Democratic Senate would be vital to creating a path toward legislative change. Under Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Democrats would have the muscle to make progress on one or two priority issues, like shoring up our public health infrastructure or passing an economic stimulus bill that would finally help states, businesses and individuals recover from the economic crisis.
While much of a Biden administration would have to focus on cleaning up the mess created by Trump, there could be room to move forward on issues like climate change or immigration reform that have been ignored for too long. Even if Democrats don't jettison the filibuster, they would be able to use party unanimity and procedures, like the budget reconciliation process, in an aggressive fashion to advance legislation.
