I'm not expecting a lot. Everybody is going into election mode. One of the least effective Congresses ever will be dead from here on out.

They still are, in the vast majority of instances, reliable votes for Republican policies and against Democratic policies. They still reliably vote for Trump's nominees. Thune still is majority leader and controls the agenda.

I can't believe someone here is counting on Collins.
