There is a case to be made that the control-shifting results of the 2020 elections could amplify the clout of both of Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senators — one Democrat, one Republican — in the upcoming 117th Congress.
Besides the inauguration of President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the big change this year, after the two January run-off elections in Georgia, is the retaking of the Senate by the Democrats. Of course, 50 Democrats to 50 Republicans with Vice President Kamala Harris as tie-breaker is the slimmest majority any party can have.
