Question about Congress logistics
Does anyone know...

Whereas, the Pelosi House has passed dozens of Democracic-favorable bills

Whereas, it looks like Democrats are going to retain a workable majority in the Senate.

Whereas, it looks like Democrats will lose the House.

Whereas, filibuster reform seems like a real possibility in the next two years...

Can the Senate, with filibuster reform, still pass all the bills Pelosi has gotten past in the last 2 years that the Senate has had to ignore due to filibuster abuse, even if there is an entirely new House? How long do the House-passed bills remain valid? Given that two out of the three Senate seats we are losing for sure are DINOs anyways, how likely is it that Pelosi's bills can pass the Senate even after filibuster reform?
