    I assume you mean 60+ to break filibuster.

    And weren’t a lot of them solid conservatives too (not like Manchin, further right)? Hence why pro-choice laws were never solidified.

      Negative. Not one time since 2009 was the house and the Senate majority Democrat. Yes hey would need 60 for the Senate, but they haven’t met the material to even fight for 60

        You are incorrect. 117th congress 2021-2023 because you didn’t bother to read last time:

        With Harris serving as the tie breaker in her constitutional role as President of the Senate, Democrats gained control of the Senate, and thereby full control of Congress for the first time since the 111th Congress ended in 2011. Additionally, with the inauguration of Joe Biden as president that same day, Democrats assumed control of the executive branch as well, attaining an overall federal government trifecta, also for the first time since the 111th Congress.
