The Gang of 30

...is a very powerful group.

We have had "gangs of eight" and other "gangs" before but none this large.

In effect, they are more powerful than Schumer or McConnell. If they hang together, they will determine, to a large extent, the agenda of the Senate going forward. With the virulent partisanship, this may be the best thing to happen at this time?

This should give no comfort to the White House or the deep partisans.
