If McConnell has 52-53 Senators, as appears likely, I think any significant legislation on health care, the environment, immigration or court reform is DOA until 2023 — regardless of whether the Dems had any intent to follow through on the those parts of their campaign platform.
My bigger concern is that McConnell outmaneuvers Biden on economic relief and gets Biden to agree to crippling longterm austerity measures in exchange for short term stimulus. After all, the deficit only seems to matter when Dems are in the White House.
