Wait? Is it? Franken is stepping down, and I thought the republicans who were stepping down were representatives, not sentators… am I misremembering?

If only… it’s 51-49 Republican favoured. One of those Republicans is Bob Corker who’s righteously pissed at the new tax bill they’re trying to sell, so unless the Republicans hustle on reconciliation between Senate and House bills, the VP might end up breaking a tie on this bill (if Susan Collins doesn’t decide to just sink the whole thing).

Strange times indeed.
