12. Split isn't very good

If were to hold only one chamber, it would be much better to hold the Senate, since the Senate alone approves Presidential nominations.

I'll of course be immensely relieved as long as Harris has the Presidency, but she will be severely hampered without control of both Houses, especially the Senate.

Expect full scorched-earth opposition to every piece of legislation and every appointment, especially judges. Republicans will do everything in their power to try to make Harris a one-term President who takes the blame for everything that she couldn't do because Republicans blocked her. The American voters ARE that stupid.
