The current split minus Georgia is 50-46-2, by virtue of being the major party in the Senate.

That is all

Don't let that stop Democrats from dancing in the streets because we got Joe Biden into office

But majority leader is based on party numbers. Assuming the Dems pick up both seats it'll be 50-48-2, caucusing doesn't come into play for this.

It's literally one of the reasons Bernie Sanders doesn't ring to well with the Democrat leadership he's considered independent

2 of the democrats are technically independents. Mitch will be the majority leader even if both Georgia seats go blue and Harris breaks the tie for democrats

A thought: Wouldn't this force him to be more of a figurehead more then anything? As he wont even have the majority of the votes in the Senate.

Just a thought.

Can they can make DC a state with a 50/50 split? You know, the objectively morally correct thing to do that only democrats push for because Republicans would have a harder time taking the house and senate if the did it.

Harry Reid was Majority Leader from 2007-2009 even though Dems had less than 50 seats, because they had two caucusing independents, so if it's a (48+2) - 50 split, McConnell will not be majority leader.
