"It could be over for the Senate Dems now," said one policy expert in response."This could mean they effectively lost their majority."The Democrats in the U.S. Senate have at least temporarily lost their slim-as-could-be majority as Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont heads into surgery Thursday after suffering a broken hip.
"Having been born blind in one eye," the statement continued,"the Senator has had a lifelong struggle with reduced depth perception." It said Leahy"has taken some remarkable dingers over the years but this one finally caught up with him." With the U.S. Senate split evenly 50-50, and Vice President Kamala Harris acting as the tie-breaker for Democrats, having Leahy out for even a short stint would make passing any legislation more difficult for the majority.
Others pointed to the fact that with Thursday being the last day at the U.S. Supreme Court for Justice Stephen Breyer, and his replacement Ketanji Brown Jackson being sworn in at noon, the Democrats dodged a bullet at least in terms of that appointment.
