Then what was so special about the Dems winning these two seats? What does it change?

They don't have the votes, but they will have the power to bring the vote to the floor. McConnell was a master at keeping votes off the floor he didn't want to cause any dissention in the ranks.

That extra stim money is an interesting matter now. The democrats will want a vote and it could spell trouble for the GOP to say no especially after saying how much they wanna help the people lately. The GOP will look bad on this no matter where they go.

They could not even bring the vote to the floor with McConnell's obstructions as lead. With Schumer, they could bring forth the vote on day one of the majority.

The power lies simply in granting the Senate the ability to vote on the notion.

Filibustering covid checks would be political suicide. I really doubt they'll do it.
