Amy Blanchard Darley
Amy Blanchard Darley passed away on April 3, 2021, at 66 years of age. Her death was an unexpected shock to her family, friends and the larger community in Vermont to which she dedicated her personal and professional life.
Amy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on June 17, 1954, the eldest of three siblings. Her family moved to Schenectady, N.Y., and then to Long Island. She graduated early from high school to study dance at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She left Tisch to travel the country with the New York Street Theater and was a lifelong lover of dance and movement.
After all the tumult and twists and turns of 2020, it seems a bit risky, if not downright ridiculous, to speculate about the things that will drive our politics in the upcoming year.
But, there are some issues that I think are going to play important, if not staring roles not just in 2021, but in the midterm elections as well.
It’s not an exhaustive list, but is a good place to start.
What happens with
COVID?
From his time as a candidate, to his first minutes as president, Joe Biden has made defeating the pandemic his top priority. For the next few months, the White House will be consumed with getting more money to fight the pandemic, facilitating efficient and predictable vaccine distribution and production, and pressing mitigation efforts like masking. In some ways, this is an unenviable task, especially as new, potentially more virulent strains of the virus are discovered. But, Biden benefits from the fact that Pres. Trump left Biden a low bar to clear on the issue.
What happens if U.S. Senate party control is split 50-50

Features of Congress
Background
Analysis
Unlike the House, the United States Senate has an even number of seats two for every state in the Union. This structure means that it is possible for two parties to split control of the U.S. Senate evenly. The most recent such split in the Senate followed the 2020 elections, which resulted in the Democratic and Republican caucuses each controlling 50 seats (this figure includes two independents who caucus with Democrats). This page covers procedural guidelines related to control of a split Senate.
