What Now?  

It looks like both Democrats in Georgia have won Senate seats.  That balances the chamber and gives Democrats effective control of both houses.  It is also a slap in the face to President Trump whose coattails proved shorter than he estimated.  The question is what now for President-elect Biden?  He prides himself with working closely with legislators and across the aisle.  Will his brand of communications work if Republicans remain obstinate in opposition?  Only time will tell, but he has a golden period of cooperation for two years until the midterms, and he will need to make the most of it.  One interpretation of the Georgia results is that citizens are sick of conspiracy theories and whining from the President.  They want to move forward.  If that is the case, they won't be patient for long and Biden knows that.  First up will be addressing COVID vaccinations and $2000 checks to those out of work or earning modest incomes.  The economy won't turn around overnight, but with careful messaging, Biden and Harris can raise the spirits of Americans again.
