Sep 2020

be Biden replaced by a Republican for 4-8 years.

There is nothing on Biden's agenda that can get 60 votes in the Senate. Absolutely nothing. We have seen how Mitch plays. Zero Republicans will vote in favor of anything Biden is for. Then they will campaign on the "do nothing" Democrats and retake the Senate and possibly the House.

If the people give the Democrats an overwhelming mandate they have to actually use that power or the people will take it back.
