15. An easy call. OF COURSE the Senate majority is more important.

It's critical. Mitch McTurtle will stop EVERYTHING the Democrats try to do, including Senate confirmations. Even with the bare Senate majority of 50-50 plus Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote, McTurtle will just relentlessly filibuster EVERYTHING. So even if the Democrats win those two Georgia seats, they'll still HAVE to blow up the filibuster. This is why I hope all of the sitting Democratic Senators will stay right where they are. There is NO margin for error in the Senate. We can't and shouldn't count on any Republican Senator dying in office or being forced to retire for health reasons. Anybody who wants Warren or Sanders in a cabinet post should understand this.
