As of January 3 they will have only a 2 seat edge, meaning if 1 Republican votes with Dems, legislation will not pass. They can only have 1 person not vote and still pass anything, assuming all Dems vote. The fighting amongst themselves will be fun to watch.

However, she replaced a moderate Democrat who retired, so there is hope... *fingers crossed*
