Senate Question

[IrishMick]

Can anyone explain how Chuck Shumer is being touted as the Majority Leader when the split is (from what I can find) 50R-48D-2Other? Even if the 2 Others vote for him its a 50/50 split. Does that mean the VP would cast the deciding vote?

Yes, the VP breaks the tie, she will be in the senate much the next 2 years.

I agree. Can’t see how it’s the majority at 50/50.
