You really should look this up, but here are some basics. There are 100 senators. Right now 53 are Republicans, 47 are Democrats. That makes Republicans the majority party, so all of the Senate committee chairs are Republican, as is the Senate majority leader. Fetterman is one of those 47. If Fetterman is replaced with a Republican, it is now 54-46 in favor of Republicans, and it is that much harder for Democrats to get back control. The House is a similar situation -- even shitty D House members are important for getting control. Also, in the House the Speaker (leader of the House majority party) is damn close to a dictator, so control is even more important than it is in the Senate. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
