Push him too hard and he will flip to the Repugs or go full indie and not caucus with either side. Hello Majority Leader McTreason-McTurtle, goodbye Biden agenda, plus a chance that SCOTUS goes 7-2 hard RW, as the Rethugs will NEVER again, if they control the Senate, allow a Dem SCOTUS nominee to even get a vote, even if it means years and years of blocking.
2022 is NOT at all a sure thing that we increase our majority. We have 4 at risk seats (GA, NH, NV, AZ), the Rethugs have the two open purple state ones (NC and PA) plus maybe Shithole Johnson in Wisconsin (it rhymes). FL and OH (a little better chance now that Portman is retiring, but OH is red now, solidly) are reaches, barring Trump shenanigans with Rubio. We will be fighting a massive poltical history of Red Waves, as the last two first Dem POTUS midterms, 1994 and 2010, were utter disasters for us. We have a real possibility to lose the House as well, likely a higher chance there than the Senate, unfortunately. We have 35 to 45, 50 or so at risk seats, and the Rethugs have far less. 2018 was an abnormality, as many of thosee flips we had simply reverted back to their Rethug norms (some for 25, 30, 40 plus years) in 2020.
