        No. Furthermore, the Senate has decided that it requires a supermajority to actually pass most legislation with the exception being reconciliation bills, so in most situations where a tie occurs in the senate the VP's deciding vote is meaningless, if I'm not mistaken.

          YOU'VE GOT BIDEN LITERALLY JUST THREATEN THEM WITH ALL THE POWER THAT IMPLIES

          YOU CAN GET THE TWO DEMS WHO WON'T COOPERATE TO DO SO

          AND THEN USE THE TIEBREAKER ONCE THEY MAKE IT FIFTY

          BUT OF COURSE THEM PROVIDING AN EXCUSE NOT TO DO THINGS IS THE FUCKING POINT
