Even with a narrow margin in the Senate and a diminished number of seats in the House, control of both chambers does clear a path for Biden to pass legislation, according to Casey Burgat, the director of the legislative affairs program at the George Washington School of Political Management.
He says this is key for the Biden administration. Biden said Thursday he would move quickly to send Congress a new proposal for coronavirus aid that likely would deliver a new round of stimulus checks to millions of Americans while funding a comprehensive vaccine distribution plan. Similar Democrat plans have languished for months, passing out of the House but failing to garner enough votes in the then-Republican-controlled Senate.
The schedule for Biden's Cabinet nominees also languished in the Senate in early January. With Democrats now in control of key committees, the pace of confirmations will accelerate considerably. Unified control of Congress also gives the legislative branch a greater ability to enforce government accountability. Most notably, the landscape for the unprecedented second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump changes considerably with Democrats in control. So, it's the epitome of Congress sitting up for itself and making sure that the president is paying attention, or at least doesn't think of himself as above the law.
Despite their new majority in the Senate, Democrats will still need to attract 17 Republicans for the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump and bar him from running again for federal office. But Democrats' overall lack of a significant majority could ultimately work to Biden's advantage, one analyst said. David Barker, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University, said, "The Biden administration is really fortunate to be in a perfect kind of position where they've got Barker asserted that with such a narrow majority, Biden can more easily justify seeking centrist compromises with Republicans over the objections of liberal Democratic forces.
