4 Senate Races to decide control of Senate

I'd like to believe this, but my pessimistic side thinks that if the Dems win the Senate will act as it does now, and is the GOP wins...the Senate will act as it does now.

FWIW, I have more hope for the House, since the number of MAGA people will grow and perhaps reach critical mass, where the McCarthyites will be forced to act on their behalf.

The key thing about the Senate is the role of Majority Leader in deciding the calendar, especially when it comes to confirming appointees. For example, why didn’t Merrick Garland get hearings -> confirmation vote in 2016? If Chuck Schumer had been Majority Leader you can bet that Merrick Garland would be on the US Supreme Court right now.
