No one seems to know yet if she is going to be a true “independent” that works outside the caucus or a fake independent like Anus King or Bernie Sanders. I am not sure how senate rules work if you have 50-49-1 in terms of organizing the chamber.
The correct count is R 49, D 48, I 3.
It’s actually 48D-49R-3I....I=Crazy Bernie, Anus King, and party/gender fluid Cinema.
