Should Senate Democrats emerge with the majority, Sen. Pat Leahy of Vermont will become president pro tempore, third in presidential succession order. Elected in 1974, this will be his sixth time in the majority, ranging from eight years (twice) to 17 days, from Jan. 3-20, 2001. — PolitiTweet.org

IF Senate becomes a Democratic majority, it will be the latest twist in a 40-year churn of party control. 1981-87, GOP 1987-95, Dem 1995-Jan. 2001, GOP Jan. 2001, Dem Jan.-June 2001, GOP June 2001-Jan. 2003, Dem 2003-07, GOP 2007-15, Dem 2015-Jan. 2021, GOP Jan. 2021 -??? - Dem — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats may end up seeing an Electoral College swap in which they lose Pennsylvania, with increasingly unfavorable demographics, but can count on winning Arizona and Georgia. Maybe 2024, more likely 2028. — PolitiTweet.org

Different times. David Perdue (R-Ga.) got to the Senate as a political giant-slayer of sorts. The outsider former business executive beat three sitting congressmen in the 2014 GOP primary, then romped in general election over the daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn (D). — PolitiTweet.org

@LaraMBrownPhD Now, whether she still has much enthusiasm for contesting Biden electors on Trump's behalf Wednesday is a different conversation. :-) — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@LaraMBrownPhD @CaseyBurgat @Nate_Cohn @Redistrict She would still be a senator until the results are certified. Appointed Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) stayed in office for a few weeks after her loss. And in 2010, appointed Sen. Paul Kirk (D-Mass.) stayed in office a little while until Scott Brown (R) was certified the winner. — PolitiTweet.org

Former President George W. Bush/Laura Bush will attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, while former President Jimmy CarterRosalynn Carter will not. Makes perfect sense based on COVID-19, Carters' ages, etc. Assuming Trump skips, Bush will be only GOP president there. — PolitiTweet.org

@BillSwindell Vice President-elect won't resign until the electoral vote counting nonsense in Congress if done, on Wednesday or in the coming days. Joe Biden didn't leave the Senate until Jan. 15, 2009. so she might do so relatively lately as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattngreen Hoyer alluded to Republicans adding guaranteed MTRs to the rules after assuming the majority in 1995. Longtime Dem lawmakers who were around then still view it as throwing the minority part a bone and ignoring all other rights. Not agreeing with that per se, just mentioning. — PolitiTweet.org
