We need a Democratic Party Controlled Senate and if possible Democratic controlled house!

To get jobs for Americans and student loan relief plus many other progressive agenda items on the congressional table, the Democratic party will need to win at least one of the chambers in congress. It seems the senate is the most likely target to flip of the two. The Democratic Party has to get out the vote. Now is the time to act and get the job done right.

GOTV!

Didn't Obama in his first term have both houses?? He tried to play nice/nice hands across the aisle and what did it get him.. 8 years of obstruction... If the democrats get both houses they should seize the opportunity and steamroll their agenda thru and appoint a liberal SCOTUS judge... or two..

(Okay, it was a whopping four months).



Keep up. You get bonus points if you narrow in on what was going on in the Senate.
