Not Much of a Victory
Label me as one Dem that's glad for not picking up the GA senate seat. But this isn't much of a victory for the GOP either. This was never a close race and would never have happened if not for Georgia election laws that require a 50+1 majority win. Besides that, senate rules only require majority passage for bills. The 60 vote rule is a modern media myth.
