All the RATs need to block anything in the Senate is 41 votes. They are still running the show. Don’t forget that the V.P. has a vote too, so if he is present 61 votes are needed for a 2/3rds majority.

He only has a vote to break a tie.

I believe he only votes if there is a tie.

A 2/3 majority is 67, not 61.
