The Senate majority leader decides on what comes to the Senate floor to be voted on. Who decides if the Senate is 50/50?

@SW-User Unfortunate, but true.
@eli1601 I know the VP decides if the vote is tied, but who decides on what bills even come to the floor to be voted on?

@independentone Chuck Schumer. He’s got a hell of an inbox as McConnell has sat on anything remotely progressive for years...

@independentone The majority leader who will most likely be Chuckie.
@eli1601 ok, thank's for the reply. Will McConnell then become minority leader?
The Senate majority leader, in my opinion has way too much power. Too bad the two sides can't work together for the betterment of the country.

@independentone I doubt any Republican will challenge Mitch, so he will most likely be minority leader. The problem with working together is the different ideas for what constitutes the betterment of the country.

@independentone to be fair, I think Biden has a better chance of bipartisanship than others. He has the experience.
@eli1601 The two sides will always disagree, that is where compromise comes in. No one side gets everything they want, both have to give up something to get something. I know that is how it worked when Rayburn and Tip O'Neill were speakers of the house. It just doesn't seem to be that way any longer, and it's the American people who suffer for the lack of compromise.
@SW-User I agree, and I truly hope you are right.
