Ben Ray Luján’s Stroke Could Imperil The Democrats’ Agenda

Democratic New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján’s stroke means that Democrats could be without their 50th Senate vote for weeks, potentially imperiling their ability to move forward on their priorities.


Democrats have the slimmest of Senate majorities, with their tie-breaking vote coming from Vice President Kamala Harris. And while Luján’s staff said that the senator, 49, is expected to make a complete recovery, his absence means that Republicans could have a 50-49 edge.

That advantage means that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is hamstrung when it comes to passing legislation or confirming nominees that do not have significant bipartisan support. Democrats’ Build Back Better Act, for example, is now doomed for the foreseeable future, even if Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin were to reverse his position and offer it his total endorsement.

Years ago I was forced to take a course on managing problems/disagreements in the workforce. Didn't get much out of it, but there actually was one bit of inspiration for really tough times. The guy running the class said just remember that when you have that boss somewhere up the ladder - the one you can't work with and you have no way of getting rid of - to always remember "where there's death, there's hope." This sounds like a variant on that theme. I wish the guy all the best, but just stay away from congress.
