John Barrasso, R-Wyo., left, and John Thune, R-S.D., right, for a news conference with other Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2020. Standard & Poors said in a report Tuesday that the economy would be 1.5 percentage points smaller in 2021 without more aid. Indeed, McConnell has been in the catbirds seat since Senate Republicans outperformed expectations in November while House Democrats barely held their majority.
