Hello unified government! Good-bye Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. 
It was a dream that few thought would come true. The Democrats won both senate seats from the state of Georgia.
Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock’s victories delivered a crushing defeat to Republicans, stripping them of their main bastion of power in the post-Trump capitol. Ossoff won by 35,615 votes. Warnock won by 73,404 votes.
The wins means that Joe Biden’s cabinet selections will likely have much smoother approval by the Senate. With the Senate split and Vice President Kamala Harris providing the tie breaking vote the Biden agenda will have a better chance of success. Senator Chuck Schumer will now be the Senate Leader. The $2,000 relief checks for Americans are significantly more likely to become a reality.
Joe Biden has more than 1,200 jobs to fill that require Senate confirmation. And he’s going to do that much more quickly thanks to Democrats’ victories in Georgia.
A Joe Biden agenda will be easier to accomplish. Mr. Biden wants to rebuild roads and bridges and address climate change. Not long after taking the oath of office he is likely to issue orders to rejoin the Paris climate accord and the World Health Organization, and to reinstate the program that allows young immigrants known as “Dreamers” to remain in the United States.
There are many other things that need addressing including health care, liveable wages, and criminal justice reform.
I’m rooting for you Mr. Biden. Please don’t disappoint me!
