Unlikely. Your political system is broken. One side wants to take it away and the other keeps saying they will prevent it, but when they get in power they do absolutely nothing.

EDIT: Just to clarify. I'm not on Republicans side, but I'm also willing to callout Democrats for their failures. I just hate money in politics and 95% of politicians are on corporate side not idealogical one.

They need more than 49.5 votes with some of them coming from Georgia and West Virginia in order to do much.

It's easier to stop things in government than to pass them. Why do the Republicans get so much credit for just stopping things, but the Dems get none?

Even when they have full power the Democrats always have someone that will play the bad guy and vote with the Republicans.

To me Republicans always stick together Democrats can't get their people to do the same.

It only took 15 attempts for McCarthy to get his speakership, first time in over a century it took more than one

That was different. That was the MAGA wing of the GOP. They are extremists and he was a moron to deal with them.

But look how all the Republicans on the Senate under McConnell vote. Also normally Congress too but the maga put a wrench in the normal GOP strategy.
