This is where the result in PA-Sen looms large. If Casey somehow wins, then the Republicans will still need Murkowski and Collins to override Harris’ tie-break (or they will at least need to get them to abstain) until Jan. 20. After that point, they will still need them after Vance’s seat is vacated until it’s filled. Not that I have any faith in either of them to stand up when it matters, but it is at least an obstacle.
If McCormick wins, then Collins and Murkowski are irrelevant.
