comment: With a Democratic Senate majority, Biden doesn't really have to work that much with McConnell.  If GOP Senate joined the GOP House on shutting down US government over the GOP's $30T in Reaganomics debt, it doesn't matter as Democrats have the votes in the Senate.
  Can McConnell influence six GOP Congressmen to vote with Democrats on funding US government?   Biden could make a deal there, give McConnell another bridge maybe.
