baby. isn t that great? people want us to get things done. want us to get things done. i m optimistic. based on what i know and our two lead senators know, they will get the votes to get this done. it will say to that supreme court just like we want to say get your hands off women s bodies, figuratively of course, we want to say let people marry who they love period. your majority will either be 50-50 with vice president harris as a tie-breaker or it will be 51-49 depending on what happens with senator warnock s runoff election on december 6th. can you explain to me and our audience what the practical difference is with how the senate runs. you ve been at 50-50 for years. it required a power sharing agreement with the republicans. how different would your life be if it was 51-49 instead of
issues that really matter to people warnock has already produced. if i was a georgian, i would say this guy produces for me. it s not a lot of rhetoric, it serious stuff. one last question for you. the point you made about how any one senator when it s 50-50 can stand up and decide they can throw a wrench in the works. this is a little bit delicate to say, but we all know that it was really senator sinema who you just mentioned a moment ago for her leadership on the marriage equality bill and also senator manchin in west virginia who were the ones who were kind of throwing the wrench in the works more often than anybody else. are you 100% sure that neither of them was considering switching to the republican party so they could be the star once again so they could monkey wrench this whole process well, they ve had very
power. with 50-50, you can t really get subpoena power. it means it s a lot easier to get things done. when you have 50 senator and any one senator can say i m not getting this, this or this. when it s 51, it harder to do. you put all that together and plus that extra seat in 2024 keeps the majority. i m trying to think ahead. and senator warnock has been a great person, been a great senator for georgia. service has been his motto as a minister. he took the lead in getting insulin in medicare only to cost $35 instead of $600, $700. and in georgia farmers will get help. they ve been discriminated against in the past. he expanded the aca so more people got health care and it have cheaper.
point. david, a lot of people told trump, please don t announce before the georgia runoff. he looks like he s gonna do it anyway. when you look at these results tonight, it s, like i can t imagine that s good for the republicans in that georgia runoff. donald trump and trumpism performs uniquely poorly in state by georgia races. so for the party, right? and they do not want them. there is so warnock and the dems are gonna make it all about trump and warnock wins and a lock away. but i also think there s a lesson in here and i ve stopped using the word trumpism for this reason, it somehow suggest that if the party drops trump, they ve now whitewash if the party drops trump they ve now whitewashed themselves. the power of donald trump and the party is because the party embraced him and took on his identity. they don t need him anymore. genuinely. the rachel maddow show starts right now. good evening, rachel. chris, i was on the edge of
bodies, figuratively of course, we want to say let people marry who they love period. your majority will either be 50-50 with vice president harris as a tie-breaker or it will be 51-49 depending on what happens with senator warnock s runoff election on december 6th. can you explain to me and our audience what the practical difference is with how the senate runs. you ve been at 50-50 for years. it required a power sharing agreement with the republicans. how different would your life be if it was 51-49 instead of 50-50? it s better. any time a judge or nominee to the administration, we ve had a lot of good, progressive nominees gets a vote out of committee that s 10-10 that s tied, it delays things for a week. you have to go to the floor, get kamala harris there and do what s called a notion to discharge out of committee.
